~A'Birder's  Paradise ~
We have  created garden areas wherever we found a place that something would grow,
and in places that would not allow for ground planting...we have used pots to create
green areas with succulents and flowering plants as well.  The garden is always a work
in progress.   You can see it below and will find Taro, (Elephant Ear) growing there.  
Some types of this plant are used to make poi in Hawaii. The leaves can grow up to 5'
wide.  Very beautiful and as close to tropical as we could get. We have also planted
many lovely different kinds of grasses below...in keeping with the natural rivers edge
and plants native to the Midwest


The Zen garden is a space for contemplation, nature watching.  Watch the birds, listen
to the music of the river and the kakei fountain.  We ask that you do not take food or
drink into this part of the garden.  The two lower levels of the garden have seating you
may use (we also have outside decks with chairs and tables for enjoying snacks and
drinks.)

The upper garden is the kitchen garden for the Inn.  We grow herbs, flowers and
vegetables from this area to prepare our breakfasts and garnish when we plate our fruit
course and entree. This garden area is reserved solely for our kitchen use, although we
have placed flowers here and there for color and interest, some edible as well, but
please do not pick the posies.

"My most memorable time
here has been the garden.
It is perfectly lovely.
I could have spent all of my
time enjoying it."

Our gardens are Organic.  Keeping the garden organic means you are not
ingesting poisons on or in your food. Of course the entire garden, Inn and
surrounding property are completely smoke free.  Take a moment or two to
enjoy the garden while staying at Mrs. B's Inn.
Not only is this a peaceful place, but during times when
the flowers are blooming we have many butterflies and lots of nesting birds,
water birds...ducks and Herons.
