Hello Tammy,
and anyone else coming from that direction this summer.... Coming from
Louisville, take I 64 like you are going to St. Louis. When you get to exit 118
(Georgetown exit) get off and take a right at the bottom of the ramp. that will
put you on State Road 64. Stay on SR 64 until you get to Milltown, IN. About 35
minute drive from Georgetown to my front door. The map in the back of my catalog
will give you direction on how to locate us once you reach Milltown. we are
appointment only here, and sometimes it takes a few days before we can work you
in... so please do let us know ahead of time.
First weekend in June we will be in Muncie, IN giving a slide presentation on
late blooming color for the garden.
My garden is now about 14 or 15 years old. Just about everything I planted the
first 5 years while I was learning to garden is long gone. It does take a while
for some things to mature. The dogwoods I planted are in bloom now and really do
look nice. Some of the natives have been out there long enough to seed themselves
through out the garden creating drifts of color. I must say that nature has always
done a much better job of design that I originally envisioned.
Youall come when ya'can
