NC ARBORETUM ACTIVITIES
The North Carolina Arboretum is quickly becoming a favorite destination for guests who want to get outside to appreciate nature, but don’t necessarily want to hike up a mountain. It’s also on Brigette’s list of favorite spots around Asheville.
FOURTH OF JULY HAPPENINGS
PRE-FALL PLANTING
Brigette spent a good, theraputic, two hours planting baby perennials that arrived last week from Blue Stone Perennials (http://www.bluestoneperennials.com/). Now that summer is pretty much over, it’s getting darker earlier, so more gardening therapy continues tomorrow.
NEEDING RAIN
Has it been a dry summer where you are? We’ve had so little rain over the past six weeks that Innkeeper Dave has been turning off the Andrews Geyser overnight in order to replenish the lake fed by Mill Creek and the creek itself. He then turns it back on before breakfast so the geyser comes back for the daytime tourists.
