In the Garden of Grace: A Morning Dahlia Tour
With Gayle Wentworth and Julie Alnwick
September 23, 2025
Join us for a serene and inspiring day as we take a guided tour through a breathtaking dahlia garden, where beauty and grace bloom in harmony. This peaceful day will be a chance to admire the vibrant variety of dahlias, learn about their care and cultivation, and reflect on the deeper spiritual lessons that can be drawn from these radiant flowers.
The tour will begin with an introduction to the history and symbolism of dahlias, followed by a walk through the garden led by an experienced guide. You’ll learn about the different varieties, their growth cycles, and how these blooms reflect the beauty and order of God’s creation.
Following the tour, we will gather for a delightful lunch in our Arts and Craft style Main House. Enjoy a freshly prepared meal as we share in conversation and fellowship, surrounded by the sights and scents of the dahlias in bloom.
This day promises to be both a visual and spiritual feast, offering moments of reflection, learning, and rest in the beauty of nature.
This morning tour will begin at 11 AM followed at lunch served at 12:30 PM. The day will conclude at 1:30 PM
