Last week my husband and I went away for a few days to celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary. We went to southern Indiana and stayed at the Clifty Falls State Park Inn. We had a great time hiking, shopping and eating some good food.

| We took a very, very long hike. Thought we were going to die! |
Part of the reason we chose this destination was because of an herb farm that is nearby. I had read about and wanted to check it out. And I just have to say OMG! It was amazing! It was in the middle of nowhere, along the banks of a creek, with a beautiful brick farm house and out buildings.
The display gardens were beautiful and full of inspiring ideas to take home.
And it was neat and weeded. We have been to many herb farms and gardens that advertise "display gardens", only to find weedy, messy beds and hoses to trip over. I've gotten to where I don't expect much, but this place really lived up to their web site descriptions. There was a tea room, several shops and farm animals to pet. I can't wait to go back. I bought a couple of garden ornaments, but need to take some pictures. I'll be back soon.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

That garden looks perfect. So glad you had a good time. I am dying to get away for just a night with my hubby. We are hoping to squeeze it in in June.
Seems everytime I go to Madison, the Herb farm is not open. Glad you had a great trip!
