A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Melba Nezbed

Spring has sprung! The lignumvitae trees are in bloom right now and they are blue and beautiful. Their annual blossoming never fails to excite me. It’s not often that you get to see a native hardwood blossom such an intense color. We are also starting to see migrating warblers. In fact, a pair of painted buntings were seen a couple of days ago. We had a fairly warm winter this year, but the temperatures are still cooler now than the summer months. So, come out and visit us and enjoy the wonderful weather this time of year.

GETTING HERE
