Hurd Orchard

At Hurd Orchard we first went out by the zinnia and flower beds. The owners told us a little of the history of the orchard. While they were talking girls passed around our appetizers….puff pastry with apples, cheese, crackers with spread, and a plum stuffed with an interesting cheese spread. hurd orchard 031 hurd orchard 033 hurd orchard 035
They even had a special garden of garnishes along with the annuals, perennials, herbs, and sunflowers.
Then we entered the huge barn. hurd orchard 039 what a delight! Our long table sat under a ladder with hanging paper lanterns. hurd orchard 042 The flower arrangements on the tables were outstanding and huge!
