Springtime Special Deal in Jonesville Michigan

My property, the Munro House Bed and Breakfast in Jonesville, Michigan, has been a work in progress for several years. I am learning to be a gardener on my own in my spare time. There is a lot of trial and error going on my yard. Now that Springtime is here, it is time to reassess and reevaluate what I have done and what I hope to do.

It all started when I got tired of 7 forty foot tall pine trees that lined my parking lot. I had them removed and replaced the area they once occupied with a new brick patio, a privacy fence, a retaining wall, and lots of plants, shrubs, and trees. After 3 years, the area is beginning to mature, but the trees just don’t grow fast enough.  The plan is for the future, so in time, it will become what I dream it will be.

My flowers are beginning to bloom. The daffodils and tulips are just beautiful, the iris and lilies are coming,  the annuals will be planted around Mother’s Day. I need to increase the groupings and organize them better.  But I do have color throughout the yard, so I am moving in the right direction. I need to move the big stuff back and short stuff forward.  All of this takes time.  Sometimes I have it, and sometimes I don’t.  Some people notice and some people don’t.  I guess it’s the effort that counts.

I may never be a master gardener, but I am getting more confidence and pride in what I am doing in the yard.  I know that there are lots of people who love gardening and would like to share their knowledge. To those people I am proposing that if they will bring me a flat of their favorite flowers and help me choose a spot and help me plant them, they can buy one night and get the second night free at my B&B through May 5. I have ordered flowers through local fund raisers that will be here in early May, so this offer is only good until I get my flats.
