Kinney Azalea Gardens

Join us for another fun-filled Kids at Kinney&nbsp;adventure as we uncover the hidden world of worms! Participants will learn why worms are some of nature's most important recyclers, explore how composting turns food scraps into nutrient-rich soil, and discover the incredible role worms play in keeping our gardens healthy.

Kids will have the opportunity to meet and work with live red wriggler worms, the composting champions that help transform organic waste into rich compost. Through hands-on activities and interactive learning, they'll see how these tiny creatures make a big difference for plants, wildlife, and the environment.

Perfect for curious kids who love digging in the dirt, exploring nature, and discovering the incredible creatures living beneath our feet!

Rustic-chic private farm venue in scenic Stonington, CT 

Deans Mill Farm 

Built in the mid-1700s as a functioning livestock farm, Deans Mill Farm has gone through an evolution in recent decades. A full renovation of the historic buildings and rejuvenation of the surrounding 70+ acres has made the property into the incredible venue it is today. Deans Mill Farm now operates primarily as a private event space and five-room bed and breakfast tucked down a private road in Stonington, Connecticut. It shares its property with Dragonfly Equestrian Center and is home to dozens of horses. On the property lies meadows, hiking trails, beautiful fields and Dragonfly Disc Golf. The property can be rented for weddings, birthday parties and other special events. Additionally, the bed and breakfast can be rented by the room or reserved in its entirety for complete privacy. The Farm has the ability to host small private indoor events for up to 50 guests in the Farmhouse. Outdoor tented events are our specialty, with numerous locations on-site that are picturesque for your celebration. Outdoor tented celebrations can accommodate up to 250 guests.
