Lunch in the Garden
We had lunch on the deck at Garvin Gardens. In the summer or later in the spring this would have been a great place to eat. This early in the spring though it was quite cold.
The food cooked off site and brought to a tent where it was served. If it had been warmer, the sides of the tent could have been rolled up. As it was there wasn't much room in there for people who were waiting for their food, so it was a good thing that there weren't a lot of people.
There was no real menu, so we had to kind of look around to see what other people had and what was in the pots. If it hadn't been so windy, I think they would have had a menu posted.
The seating area consisted of metal chairs and metal mesh tables (which were cold). I had bean soup and a corn meal muffin and Bob had chili and potato chips. It was good and also it was hot.
On their FAQ page it says:
Do you have a restaurant at the Gardens?
Yes. We have a tent-café, which serves sandwiches, hot dogs, soups and salads. Hours vary with the season, so please call our office to check current opening times (phone number below). The Gift Shop also sells beverages, ice cream, chips, etc. throughout the year.
Can I bring a picnic lunch?
Yes. There are many places in the Gardens to have a picnic, including our designated picnic area. We do not allow large rolling coolers and lawn chairs and ask that you please put your trash in the many cans located throughout the Gardens.
