Located Adjacent to Frances Palmer's pottery studio is her large cutting garden, which inspires her pottery and photography.

The garden is home to more than 100 different shapes of dahlia. Colors and textures abound, as dahlias interweave with tomatoes, zinnias, amaranth, sunflowers and herbs.

September is reportedly the peak of the garden's crop of flowers, vegetables and herbs.

The garden will be open on Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
