What a beautiful place I chose for my walk today! Even in late November, when all the leaves are off the trees and the flowering plants have died, this place is magical.

| Waiting for summer |
Surreybrooke is a nursery/gardening center/workshop/event center/working farm/historic site all built into one. As you walk the property, you can see how it has evolved from the old brick farmhouse and outbuildings to a venue with a stream, sheds, gardens, meadows, greenhouses, and walking paths. There is something for everyone.
 |
| Doorway to antiquity |
As I walked the property I found ponds, a children's garden, a large outbuilding with tables set up for events and workshops, greenhouses, miniature horses in a pasture, and a fabulous summer kitchen, orginial to the home, where candlestick makers have their workshop. There was a heavenly smell inside the kitchen, due to a large antique tub filled with an orange and cinnamon scented potpourri, waiting to be bagged up for sale.

| Luck lives here |
I walked back to the largest outbuilding near the greenhouses and found the owner, busy making some fresh wreaths. She had not been in the building when I first went in. She told me that one greenhouse had succulents, and so I went to see, and they were fabulous.
I will surely visit Surreybrooke again, in all seasons. What a photographer's paradise!
P.S. The persimmon is for you, Warren, and I did buy some potpourri!
