I will be at the Norwich Farmer's Market; www.norwichfarmersmarket.org the last two Saturdays in May, and most Saturdays through the month of September, and the first Saturdays in October, frost permitting.

Carol and I are looking into the Newport, New London, Hanover and Lebanon markets.  If you would like to see me at one of these markets, please send me encouraging email!!

Very exciting is our new retail source; Stilwater Garden Shop on Newport road across from T-bird!  They will be carrying our robust dahlia tubers; most of the varieties that you can find under "Tubers", so now you can shop for wonderful By Design Dahlias whenever your heart desires, instead of waiting for the Farmer's Market!!

If you are interested in checking out the gardens here at my home, I happily encourage it.  I love to give tours.  September is the best time to visit to see the flowers, but it is also the busiest time of year for me!  Please understand I am a busy mom of three, and I can only invite you to visit by prior arrangement.  I'm just not equipped for people to wander onto our homesite unannounced.

That said, please feel free to use my contact information page to set up a visit.  Bring a friend!  Bring lunch and picnic by the lovely flowers and the pond.
