Have you come to visit the greenhouse lately? It is really waking up! We have jasmine that is blooming and smells divine. Our rosemary is going strong, the lavender is hearty, and other little flowers are starting to bloom. If you are here as an overnight guest, or even here to soak – please stop by and take all the beauty in. Thanks to our Grounds department for making it amazing.

Dark Sky Dates
What do you mean when you refer to Dark Sky?
There’s nothing like the wonder of a constellation-filled sky, with celestial bodies lighting up the night. And when it comes to stargazing, that’s the only type of light you want to see. Areas with little to no light pollution are sought out for clear viewing opportunities. Special steps include adding shielding units to outdoor lights so that light is being directed down and not up, minimizing blue lights, and limiting the luminance levels from area signage, just to name a few. DarkSky identifies places with high-quality nighttime environments, and advocates for conservation and managing outdoor lighting to help protect these areas and keep them enjoyable for stargazing.
