The Northey Street House B&B Garden

In 2006, the alfresco sun deck was completed. Flora then turned her attention to the back yard. Truly a labor of love, she designed the entire layout of the garden and personally selected trees & plants. Pennsylvania blue stone pavers were choosen for the garden along with a small pond which accommodates a few gold fishes. We were surprised that they survived the harsh New England Winter! Guests can enjoy seating areas thru-out the garden oasis and find shade under the Himalayan Birch or Japanese maple. There is also a mulberry tree that attracts many native North Eastern birds such as blue jays, mocking birds, cardinals, black birds and the humble sparrows. They put on quite a show in season.

Flora kept a plot for edibles which she incorporates in the B&B breakfast offerings. There are perennial raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, rhubarb, herbs, and seasonal tomatoes. There are also plenty of flowers to keep the breakfast table fragrant in the Spring and Summer season. Rain barrels retain rain water for watering the plants. Red earthworms produce exceptional fertilizer by composting much of the B&B produce waste, coffee grounds & egg shells.
