July 23rd | Field Trip: The Secret Garden at Brys Estate

Below the rolling hills of Brys Estate Vineyard & Winery, hidden by tree lines, a low-lying, 12-acre parcel was deemed too cold to grow grapes and sat unused. A visit to France convinced Walt and Eileen Brys that the great fields of lavender growing amid the vineyards there could be grown on their vacant land. After careful research, they experimented with a test crop and the results were promising. Today, the Secret Garden is in full bloom and features over 6,000 lavender plants, a fresh flower garden, an herb garden, and more, managed by Kati and her husband Azmi.

LOCATION: The Secret Garden at Brys Estate; Additional details on time and travel TBA.
