A day out at Pickity Place

Last Saturday, the Driftwood Garden Club traveled north to Pickity Place in Mason, New Hampshire. It was a chilly, peaceful day in the countryside as we explored the gardens, the greenhouse, the cottage that inspired the illustrations for Little Red Riding Hood, and the eclectic gift shop. Of course, the highlight of the day was the multi-course gourmet lunch in the cottage dining room.

Here are some photos from our day:

Lots of raised beds to grow herbs and veggies for the restaurant . . . 

There were so many garden paths, gates, and garden "rooms"

It was nice to see lavender, zinnias, daisies, and other flowers still blooming

A little anemone

Rosie wore her pink hat to add fall color

Sadly, I didn't manage to get everyone together for a group photo

We wondered if this might be okra . . . 

Star anise?

The grandmother's room in the cottage!
