October - cherry blossom, patchwork quilts & lunch at Ruffy

28/10/2017

On October 26 the Garden Appreciation group visited Valda Martin’s farm and cherry orchard at Ruffy. The group enjoyed Valda's display of patchwork and quilts, as well as her garden and orchard, with cherry trees in abundance. Lunch at the Ruffy store was also clearly most enjoyable! Thank you Sandie for the photos.
