Garden
Pavillion
This spacious outdoor tented venue and landscaped patio is perfect for hosting wedding receptions as well as corporate and social functions.








"Look closely at the forest floor.
The earth does not need much to flourish.
A little dirt; some sunlight and water and air.
Add a few chemicals for flavoring
And there it is, a very happy life."
We live in a culture where we are told that “stuff” holds the key to happiness. Yet deep inside, we know something different. On this evening’s walk, we will consider, or reconsider, what we really need (or don’t need) to have a fulfilling life. And we will turn to the natural world as our guide.

Why was everyone so tired on April 1?
Because they just finished a long 31-day March! 😆
Happy April, everyone! The magnolias will be here before you know it!
