Celebrate the summer solstice at this local, family-owned nursery. Cornell Farm is hosting a day of learning, food and fun.
Cornell Farm dates back to 1987 when the family started a retail stand selling flowers and vegetable plants. From one to 13 greenhouses, the Portland farm now grows 800 varieties of annuals and perennials grown onsite. Along with the indoor and outdoor garden centers there is a cafe, pavilion, chicken coop, veranda and much more.
This weekend, celebrate the new season during the Summer Solstice Celebration.
