'Lilac & Magnolia Bloomingtour'
May 19, 2024 1 - 4pm
Tickets on sale in April - CHS Members Field Trip
Rodger and Grace Inglis have created a garden oasis on their property 'Four Winds Farm' - a residence set in a large landscaped garden.
This garden has rock and perennial gardens, clipped hedges, mown lawns, woodland paths, spring bulbs, and an arboretum with more than 900 different trees and shrubs.
The garden has evolved over the past sixty two years. During this time Rodger and Grace have developed a special liking for lilacs, maple trees, magnolia trees, spring flowering shrubs and conifers.
Their lifetime of work and knowledge may be seen throughout the acres of impressive landscaped gardens.
Open to CHS Members - only $10. per person.
Due to an early start in the spring season this event was rescheduled to Sunday May 19. This will hopefully insure we catch the lilacs at their peek bloom. Limited spaces available - book your spot that you may enjoy this delightful guided garden tour at Four Winds Farm. A unique opportunity for CHS members to experience. Sign up at the April 29th meeting.
