The Ellwanger Estate

Ha yes, once again the ground hog was right, so now for one more week of win­ter. The cal­en­dar con­firms this with Spring Equinox sched­uled for March 20, 2010. Did you notice the tree buds, the win­ter cro­cus, and the stir of my per­sonal favorite– the rab­bits? Spring is right around the cor­ner, and not too soon!

So the Ell­wanger Estate is hav­ing it’s own Spring Awak­en­ing with re makes, re-do, and recon­struc­tion, com­plet­ing every thing from rewiring lights and door­bell, to plumb­ing, insu­la­tion updates, and plas­ter­ing. And are we ready!

Since last sea­son three gar­dens have been res­ur­rected includ­ing George Ellwanger’s orig­i­nal rock gar­den and Jardin de Vie (Gar­den of life) in the South court. Inside crea­ture com­forts have been added with a guest bev­er­age center/ refrig­er­a­tor and updates to the rooms to include; trial linens by Compy Com­pany, book lights, and inte­rior dec­o­rat­ing updates.

A Spring Awak­en­ing Event is com­ing to the Ell­wanger Estate B&B the week­end of March 19–21, 2010. Our guests will be sur­rounded by Spring glory; evening Spring desserts, a Sat­ur­day demon­stra­tion on flower arrange­ments, and answers to ques­tions on spring planting.

We all look for­ward to ush­er­ing this Spring and a new sea­son with you all at the Ell­wanger Estate B&B.
