A Secret Garden

Stuff We Love
June 10, 2023

Sshh! This one is for your eyes only. The Secret Garden at Brys Estate has opened for the season, and it’s time to channel your inner Mary Lennox and go explore the beauty of the soothing purple blossoms. The 12-acre garden is home to 6,000 lavender plants plus a swath of strawberries, with a U-pick option for the berries once they’re on the vine. If visiting for the flowers and fruit wasn’t enough, may we also recommend stopping by for a scoop of custom Moomers ice cream, made specially from the lavender and strawberries of the Secret Garden. Oh, and there are also freshly baked treats, lavender lemonade, and a whole slew of lavender products to peruse including lotions, soaps, essential oils, and candles. And did we mention you’re only steps away from Brys Estate and its award-winning wines? Find the Secret Garden at 3309 Blue Water Road on Old Mission Peninsula or visit bryssecretgarden.com to shop online.
