GDG- Bliss Farm Site

[Margaret D. Blough]

One thing you can see, and, at least as of a week ago, in full bloom is a recreation of the Bliss Farm orchard.  IIRR, they used ornamental, rather than fruit-bearing varieties of the trees and it's somewhat outlines, rather than replicates, the original orchard.

Regards,

Margaret
