We've been as busy as Santa's elves getting everything ready for our
spectacular candlelight event
starting tomorrow night! For three nights our poinsettias are bathed in a warm candlelight glow, definitely a "wow" sight. Please join us anytime between 5 and 8 pm on November 24,25 and 26 and enjoy the delectable taste and smell of cider brewing, christmas cookies and the delights to the eyes as your feet meander through our many pathways.
Thursday night brings a connoisseur and roaster of the freshest coffee around, Coastal Coffee Company owner, Ben Gingerich. Enjoy tasting his fresh brew and purchase a bag if desired.
Jo-Anne Middleton will be here displaying her array of candles in many enticing aromas. Make a purchase for that hard to buy person or just enjoy.
For those who have other evening committments, we are open 9-5 Monday through Saturday until Dec.24. This Sunday Nov. 27, we are open 12-4. The benches are quite a site in the daytime with the colourful rainbow of poinsettias!

Wow! It's hard to believe it's November 1st with this beautiful day surrounding us! This would be a great week to put up outdoor Christmas lights so our fingers won't get quite so cold! I think I'll do that here on Friday.
Last week Dave and Carol drove up north to fill our big delivery truck with christmas greens making it smell like a pine forest! There are carts full of spruce, balsam, and pine bunches, and various lengths of cedar and mixed garland on our benches.
I inhaled a breath of fresh cut pine and wished my house was filled with that divine scent all year round!
