How Does Your Garden Grow?


In March during our Spring in the Village celebration, many of our visitors helped us plant a garden of corn, okra, sunflowers, and zinnias. Our April (and March) showers have helped it develop. Stop by the Governor Bill and Vara Daniel Historic Village to see the fruits of your labors. What do you have in your garden at home?
