You feel like you're tucked in a hidden oasis with the canopy of trees with the various plants and flowers surrounding you throughout the garden. There are signs to identify all the beautiful flowers and plants. Various areas for sitting are peppered throughout the garden- a pavilion with two picnic tables, a seat for two under the pergola a gazebo with additional seating and a bench or two to rest. I can only imagine its full beauty in the spring or summer. They even had a bird feeder which was busy with a bunch of beautiful feathered friends stopping to eat. It was quite a serene & peaceful visit. It's also free.

It had all sorts of beautiful trees and plants, flowers, and bird houses and bee houses! It truly is a wonderful array of botany and trees planned out by a wonderful group of people who invest their time and love in this! There are shade-loving plants and sun-loving plants everywhere! The feeders attract a variety of birds to the garden while the flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies! It's a very relaxing way to unwind and explore nature!

We visited for one of the Igloo experiences. The setting is lovely and the staff were friendly and…read moretrying their best but appeared to be understaffed. The igloos are gorgeous inside. The heater sits in the middle of the table which is a little awkward for a table of 4 since it blocks the view. It also ran out of propane so we were freezing at the end of the evening. The soup starter was bland but the entree was excellent. The dessert was a cheesecake with chocolate and we felt the chocolate overshadowed the dessert. All in all I think this has great potential but has a few kinks that need to be worked out. Note, the toilets are port-a-potties. The wine tasting was not worth the price, I recommend just buying a glass.

I was in a group of six at the One Sweet Night lavender dessert event on Aug. 12, 2023 which was…read moredescribed as "a delicious way to celebrate the end of 2023 Lavender Season under the stars." I arrived a few minutes before the event was slated to start, and there was a young guy at the front of the parking lot who I assumed was carelessly chatting with the person in the car ahead based on how long they were taking, so I drove around. (I later discovered that he was directing traffic and served no other purpose, so I didn't understand the hold up. He wasn't checking tickets or anything to warrant the wait.) One of the owners was also directing traffic and parked the cars too close for my liking, but they barely have the space to accommodate the number of tickets they sold, so I get it, kinda :-/ The farm is seemingly small and basic. There were a few bloomed flowers (including sunflowers) but I suppose since lavender season was over, there wasn't much of anything else in bloom or anything esthetically pleasing that you'd find at a lavender farm. There was a guy singing and someone else playing guitar. Mostly covers. Meh. The other owner got up on the mic every now and then to give their story, announce the desserts, explain that they were running behind, etc., but it was extremely difficult to hear her at times. They could really use a few industrial fans under the tents. Even though the weather cooled off after the sun set, we could barely tell because it was noticeably warmer under the tents where all the dinner tables were placed. The food and what not: -- They treat you to a sample of Sly & Clyde lavender and hibiscus hard cider when you check in. It was the best thing I tasted all night. Bubbly, refreshing, and the perfect balance of sweet and dry. -- The lavender lemonade was truly Southern and super sweet. I'm Southern so I didn't mind. -- The lavender infused Laurel wine wasn't enjoyable. Based on the description ("sophisticated and unique blend with strong, sweet aromatics"), we weren't expecting something so bitter. -- The dessert trio included lavender sweet bread which had great flavor but could've benefited from some warmth because the texture was a little hard; a scone which was quite moist surprisingly and mild flavored (my fave of the 3); and and a stale-tasting cookie. -- The bread pudding was the best dish of the night. The rum glaze tasted like melted vanilla ice cream in the best way possible. The dish needed to be heated up, though. The bread pudding was a little custardy and the texture was off-putting at times. -- The charcuterie board was delicious. Everything seemed fresh and there was plenty of variety. They even accommodated my kosher friend and added chicken and turkey, so that was nice. -- The cheesecake brownie tasted store-bought. The blueberry sauce on top was incredibly salty. We were so confused. -- Something happened to the eclairs and they weren't served. Again, it was hard to hear the owner on the mic. -- The zefir was inedible. We couldn't get past the texture which reminded me of poorly mixed fondant or hardened shaving cream. -- The lemon tarts were somehow simultaneously extremely tart and sweet. -- They graciously allowed everyone to try out their new lemon sorbet which made us all pucker. For every single dish and drink (except the hard cider sample), the lavender flavor was either elusive or subtle at best. Such a disappointment. All in all, it was a great concept but poorly executed.

About a decade ago, we stayed in one of the cabins with our children. They loved it as we explored some trails, the beach, the historic buildings, the farm and equipment and rode bikes. Now my husband and I return to use the hiking/walking trails. The trails give you a little bit of everything. You can be in the shade, the blazing sun, on the beach walking in the sand, beside a field of cows or soybeans, or meandering down a rural road. We recently did a 4 mile hike and packed a lunch to enjoy on the beach. My only issue is that some people who come with their dogs have them off leash. We bring our leashed dog and I don't care for other large dogs running up to us with their owners not having control. I highly recommend going and enjoying Chippokes!

I recently had the opportunity to have a tour. I throughly enjoyed the tour, and thank the two volunteers for their time. I highly suggest visiting the museum. A few notes below. It is on a 15 Acre Farm from Dryden Family . Founded 2003. Opened the farmhouse in 2007. They are a 501c3 and is a volunteer run organization. Honoring civic groups. Want schools to utilize their property. They have lots of property and marsh. Blue bird keepers. Bee keepers. Master Gardeners. All willing to have programs. They had an astronomy program once. Downstairs floors for tours. Poquoson is a very civically minded city. Barn is a replica, it was accidentally burned down. Tom Hunt store was moved to where it is. They could use donations to renovate the store. They mentioned, Hay seeders were called farmers, and muddy toes were the fishers. Poquoson is known for the wooden canoes. They received state grants for trails and trees. They rely on donations and membership. Fundraising for Tom Hunts stores restorations is on going. The siding is cypres wood. Renovations could be $125,000. There is beautiful project they had. I'm think it was called the Long Pine Tree project. Those pine trees are gorgeous!
