When to come:
The daylilies bloom from June through September. Peak season lasts from late July through August. It is breath-taking to behold the main six acre field in full bloom. June is alsodelightful, with the subtler shades of the Siberian Iris and the intensity of the early gold daylilies. Visitors are welcome to wander along the grass paths which meander through our gardens.

Before you come:
If you want to pick up a large order, please call in advance, so we can have it ready when you get here. There is a map to help guide you through the winding Vermont roads. Our Season Calender is on the inside ofthe front cover of this catalog. We are closed Monday-Wednesday. Peak season we will be open seven days a week.

Besides Daylilies:
We grow many different species and varieties of Iris. We are now only offering a few select perennials in order to concentrate on the daylilies more extensively.

Blueberries:
We maintain over four hundred high bush blueberries in three patches. Pick your own from mid July through August. There are at least six varieties which are organically grown and delicious. Potted blueberry bushes are for sale.

Discovering Nature:
In the woods and fields, the farm also harbors various wildlife habitats and natural plantings. You’ll findfrog and fish ponds, occupied bird houses, rock gardens, bog plantings, three border collies, beehives, a rare stand of northern bamboo and more. There are tables with umbrellas and benches for your picnics.

The Garden House

Our Garden House is our summer base of operations. It is a simple post and beam structure built by a local carpenter. Start there for help, our catalog, brochures, field map or just as a meeting place.
