This Friday from 7 to 9, Cravingz will be hopping to the live acoustic music of Phil Tolliver.
What better way to enjoy the evening than to sit under the canopy of a cherry tree and sip on a chilled glass of beer or pinot grigio while jiving to upbeat tunes?
Don’t forget to order a tasty sandwich and take a stroll around Judy Cook’s evolving creation of hollyhocks, cannas, and hydrangeas.
