We have been to Green Briar a couple of times now since we have been visiting in Sandwich. It is a cozy little center with beautiful wild flower gardens and a great early 20th kitchen which was utilized for making home-made jams to sell to the public. Nowadays you can sign up for a class and make various jams depending on which fruits are in season. My husband and I took the class and enjoyed it very much. Emmalee was the teacher and she is very organized and patient. By the end of class we each had five 4 ounce jars of jam to take home with us. Check out Green Briar the next time you are in the area and see what it has to offer you.

Highfield Hall & Gardens, a five-star rated destination, is a magnificent Victorian mansion with beautiful gardens in the heart of Falmouth. While there's plenty of history within its glorious old walls, Highfield is now a vibrant cultural center offering international contemporary art exhibitions, music performances, culinary classes, family programs, and educational opportunities. The mansion is surrounded by nearly 400 acres of public conservation land and walking trails. As a "must see" on Cape Cod, plan to spend an hour or a day at this family-friendly estate. Closed on Monday excepts holidays.

We started our visit by looking at the exhibits throughout the 17,800 square foot mansion which is situated on 700 acres high on a hill. There were numerous examples of contemporary rope art by 20 artists. One room was dedicated to the history of the mansion. We found this very interesting previously we knew nothing about the mansion. At one time twenty servants from around the world worked here. Outside, we toured the various gardens and marveled at the gigantic beech trees. We have never seen such large and healthy beech trees. They are different kinds of beech trees and they are just so beautiful. So glad we took the time to visit here.

A surprising public space among the houses along Commercial street. Suzanne Sinaiko's garden has been kept as a quiet spot to visit or just to walk by and enjoy the plantings
