“You don’t plant a garden; you build an ecosystem.” Every decision in gardening has a cause and effect. Chemical fertilizing creates lush plant foliage and stunning blooms, but also creates a plant’s dependance on that fertilizer, not to mention harmful side effects for pollinators. Spend the weekend in the gardens at Orchard Hill Farm understanding the sustainable gardening methods that allow us to have ever blooming gardens and provide a sanctuary for our pollinator friends. You will learn the benefits of a chemical free garden and if the weather allows, we will open up the bee hives for first-hand look into the amazing honey bee colony.
