Garden Dept. Tours Herb Farm
Past president Betty Pupke, Garden Dept. Chairlady Muriel Urban and current Vice-President Marye Heston enjoy a look at the Perennial Gardens
On Friday, October 7th, the Garden Department of the Community Club of Garden City and Hempstead sponsored a tour of the Peconic River Herb Farm. The tour was followed by a delicious luncheon at the Soundview Restaurant and a talk on wine with a tasting at Bedell Cellars. A surprise stop at the farm stand gave the ladies a chance to purchase fruits and vegetables direct from the fields, as well as some beautiful pots of mums.
An old-fashioned barn held dried herbs, dried flowers and garden statues and accents An example of how to display a garden statue, which gave the ladies ideas for their own gardens.
Garden Dept. Chairlady Muriel Urban walked along the long path lined with beautiful containers for planting water gardens at the Peconic River Herb Farm
