Garden Tour

July 11, 2026

Today I was honored to be invited to sell my flowers during the Garden and Historic Building Tour put on by the Ontario County Historical Society (OCHS) here in Canandaigua, NY. My neighbor Linda Hecker helped me for the day, and we had such a great time. We setup on the front lawn of the Wood Library in Canandaigua. The Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association was setup next to us, the weather was perfect, and we had a great turnout. It was a wonderful day!

I’d like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all the wonderful people who bought my flowers and supported my flower farm, and also to Ulana and all the people at the OCHS, and of course Linda Hecker.

The bouquets were a mix of all the beautiful flowers currently blooming in my garden. I cut my first marigolds, scoop scabiosa, and just a few stems of statice.
