April 18th & 19th — A Weekend of Learning, Growing & Giving Back
Celebrating 15 Springs in the Garden Center
This season marks a major milestone for us, 15 years of our Garden Center. Over the years, it has grown into a hub for gardeners, plant lovers, and families looking to bring a little more green into their lives. Since this weekend is extra special, we’re inviting our community to join us for a weekend filled with education, inspiration, and hands-on experiences.
We’re so grateful for the community that has supported us along the way, and we’re excited to continue growing together for many seasons to come.

Meet the Bees with Warren Graham 11 am – 2 pm Saturday and Sunday
One of the highlights of our Earth Day celebration is a visit from Warren Graham, a 5th-generation beekeeper who maintains several apiaries right here on the farm.
Warren will be hosting live demonstrations throughout the day, sharing his knowledge about the vital role honeybees play in our ecosystem and how we can all support pollinators at home.
Guests will also have the unique opportunity to view a working observation hive, allowing kids (and adults!) to safely get an up-close look at honeybees in action. It’s an unforgettable, educational experience that brings the magic of the orchard to life.
Build Your Own Container Garden with Kathy 11 am – 2 pm Saturday and Sunday
Looking to refresh your porch, patio, or outdoor space? Join Kathy from our Garden Center team for hands-on help creating your own container garden.
Bring a container from home or choose one while you’re here, and Kathy will help you curate the perfect combination of plants based on your space, sunlight, and style. Whether you’re looking for something colorful, pollinator-friendly, or low-maintenance, this personalized experience makes container gardening approachable and fun for everyone.
This is a great opportunity to ask questions, get creative, and leave with something beautiful you created yourself. There is no fee for the guidance just pay for the plants that you would like to plant!
