RE: White Flower Farms - a brief visit

I may have to find out what a batch of fresh wild blueberry muffins would do!
Cheryl
Gene, if it only takes a batch of something homebaked to coerce you out of your nursery stock, it would probably be worth my plane ticket and a U-haul -- ya think?!

Hello Claire,
Sounds good to me. Spend two years in England quite a few years back
and, to this day, miss the sound of the 'Brits' on occasion. I am from the
old school and miss the opportunity to "dress up" a bit when going
someplace. Places a whole new feeling to the old body when it is "dressed".
I can not even locate a decent summer straw hat as no one wears decent hats
any more. Sigh... real hats with real sizes in long and short ovals.
Did have a gardening friend drop by with a tin of homemade scones couple
of weeks ago. They had dried cherries and sweet walnuts in the batter.
Warmed them in the microwave, added some butter and a cup of hot tea (golden
Assam). She could have left with the entire nursery display area I was so
thankful.
Received a card with a handwritten letter inside thanking me for coming
to a open house at a new garden this week. The card is from a male gardening
buddy, and the card is one that is "male" in appearance written with an ink
pen. (It is almost impossible to find cards and stationary for a male to
use). Small things, but they mean so much and add such a flavor to life.
All to say, I think I would enjoy White Flower Farm. Especially if they
sent me an invitation and served tea.

Farm has a tea and invites all
 in to have tea and biscuits and look at the plants.  The have a big sale

in

 July and might have been low on stock when Cheryl visited.  Not everything

is

 grown in Conn.  Some plants come from other places but shipping is done in
 Conn.  Every photo in the catalog of the grounds is taken there and half

the

 staff have British accents.  You would be properly impressed although you
 should be careful to stock up your checking account before arriving.
