From my frequent pictures of flowers you can tell we like gardens. So the first tour we made in Vermont was to the Vermont Wildflower Farm where they raise and sell wildflower seeds.
We always enjoy seeing wildflowers along the roadside and in the countryside fields. This year we particularly enjoyed all the orange daylilies along the roads in Pennsylvania. My Grandmother Rone had a lot of those in her yard. I never thought of them as wildflowers, but they were all along the roadside in Pennsylvania and a few places in southern NY.
We enjoyed walking through the field and lawn surrounding the main building of the Vermont Wildflower Farm. We bought a couple of pounds of seeds to share with friends and family. An ounce will cover about 10’ by 10’ or 100 sq ft. If you would like to try some, email me and I will send you some. Here are a few more photos:
On the way back, we stopped for the tour at the nearby Vermont Teddy Bear factory.
They make wonderful Teddy Bears, though they are a bit expensive. They have many different costumes and will even do a custom design for you.
The one on the left on the top shelf is in a bride’s dress to match the one worn by her new owner.
They guarantee them for life and will repair damage from almost any cause except putting them in the clothes dryer. Here is their “hospital ward”.
