April through May, the gate will be open for onsite parking with a limited number of volunteers available to answer questions from 1:00-4:00 on Sundays. I don't see us conducting public events until summer. I do think we could consider virtual programming. The surveying program might work well, perhaps a beekeeping program and maybe Memories from the Family Graveyard. From Betty Ann - Each Sunday we normally have an event - have a display board of photos from that previous event. Where possible, have a little handout (Mother's Tea - have tea bags in a zip lock) about the event. Also, we have display boards with matching games. For Memorial day we have flags to mark the graves of soldiers and a display of who in the family and area served. These displays are more effective than virtual programming. The people who came in the fall were more interested in walking around and reading signs.

Please contact: Kitchen, Lower and Door Step Gardens Hops The Lavender field The Chickasaw Plums Green Chickasaw Plums starting to turn red. Chickasaw plum grows 12 to 20 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide in an irregular shape. It is "twiggy" in nature, and has a scaly, almost black bark. Its branches are reddish with a thorn-like, small side branches. In February, March, April and May, small white flowers blossom, 8–9 mm wide, along with red plums, up to 25 mm long. The flowers have five white petals with reddish or orange anthers. The plums are cherry-like and tend to be quite tart until they fully ripen. They ripen in late summer.
