Belfast Garden Club Open Garden Days – Conard Garden

At Piper Stream Farm in Northport visitors will find an orchard, vegetable garden and expansive perennial beds. A fenced field at the front of the property protects pear, cherry, peach, apple and plum trees and a vegetable garden with summer and winter squash, snap peas, fresh and dried beans, cabbage varieties, and potatoes. Along the edge are perennial beds of asparagus, strawberries, rhubarb and several red raspberry varieties. There is also a small greenhouse. Flower gardens near the house range from shade to sun and include native and horticultural shrubs and perennials. Backing the flower beds are large islands of red osier (red twig) dogwood producing white berries important to migrating birds.
