On April 19th I met my sister in Ithaca, NY. She is a graduate of Cornell University, and has made many visits since then. We were going to the ACNARGS meeting in the afternoon, but first she wanted to show me a few of her favorite places.
One of the places she wanted to take me was the Agway store in Ithaca. In my area Agway is a feed store that is slowly morphing into a lawn and garden store as the farms die away. Sure, you can get a replacement spark plug for your lawn mower, or pick up a flat of pansies–if you’re not fussy about what kind or color of pansies you get. But Agway as a garden destination? I was dubious.

Hitch Lyman is a national snowdrop specialist. Of course, the snowdrops are long gone, but doesn’t his garden sound wonderful? From the Garden Conservancy website:
Enjoy this extraordinary collection of 200 lilac varieties as well as species of peonies, daphnes, and crabapples. The 1848 Greek Revival-style farmhouse was moved to this site in 1990 and the garden, pond-side Doric temple, rustic fountain, and odd assembly of trees are slowly reaching out into the surrounding meadow. Architectural building by Glenn Wilder, stonework by Kevin Reilly, and metalwork by Durand Van Doren showcase our area’s talent.
Hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The garden is at 3441 Krums Corners Road in Trumansburg.
