Blackberries for Amelia Luncheon - Wednesday, August 26th @ 12:30pm

The elegant words of the poem ‘Blackberries for Amelia’ by poet laureate Richard
Wilbur, speak of a world I know – a place where blackberries bloom in spring, and,
months later – after many leaps of faith – yield a harvest of inky black berries only made
sweet when the ageless, timeless and trying work of gathering – is shared. How did Mr.
Wilbur know? Enjoy our blackberry luncheon filled with the spriti and delicious delight of
the hedgerow and the warmth of the protective hoop house.
