We will return to the magical gardens of George & Marcia Chapman in East Falmouth where, in 2018, OGC members marveled at the horticultural wonderland of trees, shrubs, perennials, fountains, and fishponds surrounding this conveniently located home right off Route 28. We will hold a brief business meeting there before they give us a personal tour. Meet at Our Lady of Victory to car pool, bring a boxed lunch and a drink, and be prepared to enjoy a true horticultural Cape Cod gem! After the tour, take a trip to Soares Nursery, 1021 East Sandwich Road, East Falmouth for a special discount.
