An Autumn Stroll ~ Part 1
As we say farewell to Summer 2020, here are some recent photos of the garden as we look forward to the turning colors of autumn . . .
The picket fence and shade of the tree make

A special thanks to Claudia, Sarah, Sheila, and Liz, members of the Collinsville Garden Club for their hard work in harvesting the corn stalks and cleaning up the gardens after the harvest.
Enjoy the tour . . .
