Ready to start your spring garden? Stony Hill will help you get started with our large selection of spring flowers. We have pansies in 7" pots, flats, and hanging pouches.

Maze theme 2009

2009-01-21T16:58:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone!
Things finally slowed down here at Stony Hill, which means we finally had a chance to vote our maze theme for 2009. Every year the staff and our family vote on what theme we would like to base our famous 10 acre maze on. This year we all decided on RAIN FOREST! We are planning to create forest green T-shirts to go along with the theme this year. Stay tuned for the upcoming maze design & photos which will be ready around August. Get ready for another amazing Maze!
