Spring 2020

By: Brenda Franklin

During Lock Down, there were opportunities for many things, including using our current resources to replant the B&B garden to be ready for the return of guests and the return of Spring ... and Summer as life goes forth.

A slower pace of life created time to use the resources at hand, including the help of Innocent, one of my faithful staff members.    He can do many, many things, but he has a real affinity with the garden.

We looked at the front garden and noticed that the Wild Irises had really multiplied to produce large, full clumps of plants that filled the bed, almost to a point of overcrowding.    It was the perfect opportunity to "thin" them and replant the gained plants at the back in the B&B garden.

"A change is as good as a holiday" is a true saying.    We moved the pretty white bench to a new spot for guests to enjoy, replanted the bed with Wild Irises, and refreshed the window boxes.

We hope that guests may feel safe to travel and take a literal holiday visit to Cape Town as Spring and Summer approach.   You are so welcome!      Lavender House is ready.
