Greetings!

You will notice that I'm really concentrating on outdoor activities in this newsletter.  That's because, in my humble opinion, May is one of the best months in Western North Carolina.  The weather is nearly perfect (not too hot, not too cold). The flowers are in full bloom and the trees are so green. We have the Garden Jubilee Festival in downtown Hendersonville May 25 & 26.  Lots of Plants.  A great way to spend Memorial Day Weekend!

Let's go enjoy the great outdoors (even if it's just sitting on the front porch in a rocker)!

All of our packages include great discounts.  Here are a few of our favorites for this month!
Guided Mt. Pisgah Hiking Package!
 
Ever wanted to explore Western North Carolina up close? Blue Ridge Hiking Company offers great full and half day guided hiking trips (snacks included) where you can experience waterfalls, scenic views, regional wildlife, and more. 

Check out our Guided Mt. Pisgah Hike Package.
Bring a couple friends and go as a group to save even more money!

If a guided hike isn't your thing, we offer itineraries for self-guided hiking also.  Just ask us for ideas on some of the best places to visit.

Garden Jubilee Festival
Memorial Day Weekend - May 25 & 26
9 AM - 5 PM Saturday & Sunday 

Now in it's 20th year, Garden Jubilee is Historic Hendersonville's premier lawn and garden show, and one of the largest gardening shows in Western North Carolina. The Garden Jubilee Festival showcases more than 150 vendors. Southern Living garden expert, Bill Slack and national lawn & garden representatives present a series of free lectures throughout the two day show.

Local and regional nurseries will be selling thousands of annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs and hard to find plants on every block of the festival.  A great way to enhance the beauty of a garden is to add ornamentation. There will be handmade lawn furniture, jewelry, garden tools, yard art, planters, wind chimes, birdhouses, as well as soaps, and pottery. What festival would be complete without food? A whole block of great festival food vendors will also be available.

Stay three nights with our Garden Jubilee Special, walk from the Inn to the festival, and receive three great gifts from us!
