Garden tour at Barbara Tiffany’s Mill Fleur garden. Barbara will lead the tour at 2PM

The Gardens at Mill Fleurs is a private collection garden. It specializes in against-the-grain horticulture! Since it is not always apparent what rules we are breaking, we take the time to personally guide people through the gardens.

The garcen includes the Yellow Conifer Garden, The Rhododendron Drive, The Cascades, the Bronze Border, The Blue Rocks, The Lawn Gardens... ending in the Ice House with home-made refreshments.

Since Barbara Tiffany will lead a walking tour, we need to be on time, and we also need a rough headcount. The address is 27 Cafferty Road, Point Pleasant, PA. This is north of New Hope – be sure you allow enough time to drive there.

Please RSVP to Maris Ogg at maris.ogg@fiduciarytrust.com. Some folks are planning a group lunch at restaurant in the area; definitely RSVP to Maris for that.

There is parking on the grass, and at the barn on the left side going north on Cafferty Road, just north of the drive to Mill Fleurs. They suggest we car pool as much as possible.
