The Rose Garden


If you've visited Lavender Hollow Farm you have no doubt noticed the beautiful rose garden. What you may not have known is the family history behind those pretty petals. My great Grandmother on the Taylor side, affectionately named More Grandma was a wonderful gardener, quilter and baker. As a young child I can recall the huge blue hydrangea in her front yard and the fragrant rose bushes in her small back yard in Modesto. I have few memories of my More Grandma, I was very young when she passed away but I do remember my parents going to her home before it was sold and digging up all the rose bushes that were in her back yard. These are the roses that you now see in the garden at Lavender Hollow Farm.
