Happy Arbor Day! 🌳

Trees have long been regarded as one of our nation’s greatest resources. Big Sister Oak is over 300 years old! She’s the centerpiece of Moss Mountain Farm and one of my favorite places to gather with friends and family. 😀

The wisteria is almost past its peak bloom, but there's still time to catch a glimpse of this natural wonder before it's gone for the year. The allee is still a sight to behold, with cascading purple flowers and a fragrance that will transport you to a peaceful oasis.

Who loves anything (and everything) lemon? 🍋 I know I do! This lemon icebox pie makes for the perfect dessert following a hard day's work out in the garden. Give it a try and see what you think! 😀 https://t.co/ps5o04hbDD.

Swans are so interesting - I could sit and watch these beautiful creatures all day! It's such a joy when I'm able to catch them out and about here at Moss Mountain Farm. ⁠

Trudy and Moose having a moment together here at Moss Mountain Farm! They've been a cherished part of our crew for many years now, and I simply love watching these two wander around and interact with our guests. 😀

It's moments like these from 2020 that remind me of the power of nature and the importance of coming together as a community and to celebrate the divine. Wishing you and yours the best this Easter weekend! ✨

One of the pleasures I enjoy about a garden is watching all the wildlife that comes to visit, especially butterflies. They really bring a landscape to life as they flutter from flower to flower, don't you think? 😍

Good morning friends! A walk in the garden is good for the soul and a head-clearing activity for me! Is it the same for you? The calming sounds of nature and the beautiful blooms make for a sublime experience. I hope you come to experience Moss Mountain Farm for yourself! 😀

You know, I just love tulips! 🌷 I like to grow these beauties in my cutting garden. It's a great way to keep fresh flowers in the house without compromising the beauty of your garden. Do you have a cutting garden? Let me know in the comments below. 👇🏻

There's nothing more beautiful than Moss Mountain Farm in the Spring! Our spring flowering bulbs are showing out. 👏🏻 I enjoyed experimenting with some new varieties this year from Gilbert H. Wild and Son. What are you planting this year?! Let me know in the comment below. 👇🏻

It is officially spring! ✨ Over the next few months, I will be a madman hard at work in the garden. I take solace in the fact that I am sure I’m not the only gardener afflicted with this condition. Good luck this gardening season! 😄

I spend so much time here at Moss Mountain Farm. Usually, I am wandering around enjoying the gardens or brainstorming new ideas. I don't often get to enjoy the property from an aerial perspective, so every time I see new images, it makes me fall in love all over again! 😀

Happy St. Patrick's Day, friends. 🍀 I'm looking forward to the very special St. Patrick's Day-themed lunch and learn tour taking place later today. I'm looking forward to sharing some of my favorite reasons to "go green" year-round, and some beautiful blooms, of course! 😀
