MAPS is invited back to see the cut flower operation of Richard Currie, owner, of Styer’s Peonies. He will show us around the production fields in Chadd’s Ford, one of seven locations for this cut-peony business that has a total of 120 acres in operation and 200 varieties. This will be an informal tour but a great opportunity to see acres of peonies in bloom and hear about the cut-flower business.
