Pre-registration is required well in advance
A minimum of 20 people are required, and no more than 35
Deposit:
We require a non-refundable $100 deposit at the time of booking, plus a tax number certificate if available. Two weeks prior to luncheon a second payment to cover 20 people is required. This policy is necessary as we sometimes have another group wanting to reserve the same date. Additional people can be added until date of luncheon.
All food is freshly prepared the morning of the program by Lorraine in her kitchen. The setting is informal in our basement workshop where herbs are dried and flowers arranged. Most garden clubs enjoy this setting, but come take a peek before booking if unsure. There are two restrooms, one on each floor.
Groups meet in the herb garden 10-15 minutes before the luncheon for a short tour and talk. If your group is interested in gardening and the outdoors, it is suggested that you come early and walk through the "back nursery" along the Maurice River, if weather permits. It is beautiful with the changing seasons, a chance to see wildlife, wildflowers, and where the plants are grown. (Please wear comfortable shoes.)
