Rosewood Country Inn And
Candlelite Inn
Offer 4-Night Package Priced
From $429 Per Person
What better way to celebrate the spring gardening season than
with the "Hands In The Dirt" Gardening Getaway offered by the
Rosewood Country Inn and Candlelite Inn in New Hampshire. According to the
Gardening Trends Report, approximately 41 million Americans planted vegetable
gardens in 2009 and with the still-struggling economy, that number continues to
rise.
As a result, the owners of the
Rosewood Country Inn and the Candlelite Inn in Bradford, NH designed a special
gardening getaway designed for both would-be gardeners as well as experienced
gardening enthusiasts who would like to cultivate their love of horticulture.
What better way to spend four days in either May or June than to be pampered
with comfortable accommodations and gourmet meals at two award-winning B&Bs
in the picturesque Sunapee region of New Hampshire, while working with a Master
Gardener in creating and planting an inn-spiring garden design and patio
containers.
The "Hands In The Dirt"
Gardening Getaway is offered twice this spring on a Sunday 
through Thursday: May 20 to 24 and June 3 to 7. The
itinerary is as follows:
Sunday:
Arrival at the Candlelite Inn followed by dinner that evening.
Monday:
An early breakfast followed by a workshop with a Master Gardener on creating a
perennial garden. Participants will learn about temperature zones, plant
selection, maintenance, care, and plant dividing as the group plants the Inn's
front flower beds. Followed by lunch at the Inn.
Tuesday:
A leisurely breakfast before checking out of the Candlelite Inn. Participants
spend the day checking out local garden shops and nurseries before they arrive
at the Rosewood Country Inn mid-afternoon — just in time for cocktails and hors
d'oeuvres before a quiet, four course dinner.
Wednesday:
A hearty breakfast before the session on container gardening. Even the smallest
patio or porch can boast a crop of vegetables, herbs, or a garden of flowers in
containers. Planter boxes, wooden barrels, hanging baskets, and large flowerpots
are just some of the containers that can be used.
The New Hampshire Master
Gardener will give expert advice, answer questions, and offer innovative ideas
while filling the Rosewood Inn's patio containers. Lunch at the Rosewood
Country Inn.
Thursday:
A leisurely breakfast with new-found friends before departing and leaving
inn-spired to get more creative when designing personal perennial beds and patio
containers.
The 4-night "Hands In The
Dirt" Gardening Getaway includes:
- 4 nights lodging (2 nights at
each inn);
- 2 dinners;
- 2 lunches (on gardening
days);
- 4 breakfasts;
- 2 workshops with a Master
Gardener;
- Workshop #1 at the Candlelite
Inn will cover designing perennial gardens;

This package is priced at $429
per person based on double occupancy (subject to availability), and is exclusive
of tax and gratuities. To make a reservation, call the Rosewood Country Inn at
