No matter
what season, you are invited to walk through the gardens.
Lancaster County soil is the richest non-irrigated soil in the
country. That's why everyone grows flowers! When we moved to the inn, the
only flowers were on the lilac bushes. Now, after twelve years of planting and
growing - we are starting to develop into a gardener's delight.
We are also blessed to have so many local small nurseries - they
carry everything from the common red geranium to plants usually only available by mail
order. Whether it is a small Amish greenhouse or a large-scale commerical nursery
that grows tens of thousands of mums every year, we know them all! So be sure an ask
for our favorite nursery list.
