Fresh Cut Flowers

So that we don’t disturb the appearance of the gardens surrounding the house, we have planted an exclusive cutting garden to provide fresh-cut flowers throughout the lodge for your pleasure. Please inquire about adding a fresh flower bouquet to your reservation.

Seasonal Splendor

Spring offers a wonderful view of our beautiful bulbs: tulips, hyacinth, daffodils, allium, and iris. The bright yellow forsythia, eastern red buds, azalea, and lilacs complement the ensemble. Spring also brings the hummingbirds to our area to enjoy all the beautiful flowers!

Summer bursts forth with perennial favorites: coneflowers, roses, lavender, daylilies, butterfly weed, columbine, clematis, Russian sage, and many more.
