Next stop is Baker’s Acres, for a delicious and sumptuous buffet lunch. We’ll peruse Baker’s Acres wonderful collection of home-grown perennials, annuals and specialty plants before we move on to The Plantsmen Nursery. Owner Dan Segal is a passionate proponent of native plants, and offers a wide array of interesting natives, as well as specialty annuals, perennials and woodies, many of them unavailable elsewhere in our area. On our way home we’ll stop at Bedlam’s wonderful display gardens – Deb Lampear’s labor of love, overflowing with gorgeous combinations of – almost exclusively unusual – perennials, annuals and shrubs.
