Winter Retreat at Ciderpress Lane : An Immersive Garden Planning Experience

3:00pm Friday February 7th - 8:30pm Saturday February 8th

Join us here at Ciderpress Lane for a weekend away spent cozied up in our main room by the crackling fire dreaming over your garden beds, vegetable and cutting gardens. Our time together will be filled with winter feasts, spiced cappuccinos or mugs of fresh from the garden mint tea, and nibble boards to keep us all full and happy as we set time aside to dream over our gardens together. We are designing our time together to have space for you to plan and dream, as well as time together with Kelly, Aaron and fellow garden lovers to set your plans in place for the garden season to come. If you’ve ever wanted to have Aaron and Kelly help you design your garden, this is your chance! They’ll be available to sit one on one with each guest throughout the day on Saturday.

You are invited to come spend time at the table, pouring over garden designs, seed catalogues and garden inspirations. Each guest will receive our Garden Planning Ebook and full access to our Online Get Your Garden Started Workshop so you can begin the fun dreaming before we gather together.

Plus Kelly has some special homework for you to do before you arrive so you can be completely ready to dive deep into dreaming and planning. You’ll leave the weekend ready to start all your garden prep. It is amazing how freeing it is to dream together, to hear what other gardens are thinking about, creating and the tips and tricks they’ve discovered along the way..

This is an intimate retreat experience with only 15 seats available at the table.

Here’s a glimpse at what our time will hold:

Winter Retreat at Ciderpress Lane

We’ll welcome you into our main room with the fire crackling and winter spritzers on hand. We’ll start our time with a fun session with Kelly & Aaron to help our garden hearts dive deep and share big as we fill our seed sharing station and garden dream boards.

Then we’ll gather at the farm tables for dinner and an evening of conversation and connection as we share a bit about what we’re hoping for the garden in the year to come. We’ll end our evening with sweet bites and coffee before we all head back to our lodgings for the night.

Saturday morning we’ll welcome you back into our main room for a cozy brunch of coffee cake, fresh fruit, coffee to enjoy as we each find a spot to dive into our garden planning. Kelly & Aaron will walk you thru a few tips before everyone dives in.

Our lunch will be easy to enjoy picnic style so everyone can choose to keep working away. Kelly & Aaron will join each guest to talk over their design, give input if you’d like, encouragement, ideas and help trouble shoot any areas you’re feeling stuck on.

As Dinner simmers away we’ll spend time sharing a glimpse at our garden designs and helping ourselves to the seed exchange - you just never know how one person’s garden can inspire your own! The Farm Table will welcome us back for a leisurely evening spent enjoying and sharing all of the beauty from our day dreaming.

Our retreat will end at the table with dessert and coffee.

Each guest will go home with their garden designs, seeds and their heart full and ready to dive into prepping their gardens.
