And this year, we're adding our very special Commitment Garden. Each and every couple will be asked to add a plant, shrub or flower to the Commitment Garden (plant provided by us) as their personal symbol of their commitment. We really love the concept of having a growing garden that represents all the love, commitment and vows exchanged here as a living testimony to those who seal their love at Averill Stand.

And of special interest, with photos and memories, is the recent Civil Union of our guests, Jeff and Chris! We hope you'll look at their web site to get a real idea of an event at Averill Stand, seen through the eyes of our guests! And please DO see what our Civil Union guests have had to say! We host lots of Civil Unions, we we love doing so. I think you can tell . . .
