Map and Times
2026 Apple Season Coming !
"Last year we were amazed !!! Talented apple pickers emptied the orchard in a single day !!! Thanks to all!" The ponies anticipate new visitors while waiting out the summer heat. Feel free to bring a picnic ... and carrots for the ponies, to cheer them up when you come.
Little Leonard and Dancer, not to mention Whinny the Pooh, have become braver accepting carrots and cookies. They will oblige by gobbling all the bananas and oatmeal cookies offered ... until Cloudy comes and chases everybody away and eats everything ... (we may need to lock her up.)
Now is the time to Enter 2026's Gardens of Eden Awards !
Be sure to enter the Gardens of Eden Awards, any layered gardens, containing ground cover, flowers, shrubs, vines, trees, and especially wildlife. (One entry already included a wasp nest ... pretty wild indeed !)
For inspiration explore the 9 different garden tours at Mt. Cuba Gardens in
Delaware, and
Homestead and Chill's - Turn your garden into a certified wildlife habitat page.
Winners will be chosen after apple season. Send photos of your garden/names/addresses to
apples@hiddenholloworchard.com
with the subject: Gardens of Eden.
People seldom get lost these days.
Some look at
this link to Google Maps,
taking Gene Snyder (I-265) to Old Henry Road, and turning away from the city.
Others ask GPS help.
Bringing the map, and looking at the virtual tour of Apple Hill Road seems to put people in good spirits when they arrive.
Those who like to read great tomes, try this. From the Snyder, stay on Old
Henry Rd, pass Reamers Road on your left. And at the top of the hill turn
right onto Apple Hill. Follow tiny
Apple Hill Road (click for a tour)
for
0.7 mile. Where Apple Hill forks, take the middle fork to stay on our private
road. Continue along the black rail fences. When
you think you are lost, you are almost there. When you see the green umbrella
you have arrived.
If you feel lost, call or text 502-767-5245, leaving neighbors to rest in peace.
