Every year the Amish community in Bremen, Indiana holds a “Garden Walk” with eight Amish families participating this year. The third annual “Amish Garden Walk” in Rentown area is Saturday, June 18 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. They ask for a donation ($7.00) which the money helps the local Amish school. I have attended every year since it started and I always suggest it to my guests. One year I found an Amish guy who beautifully carves clocks in his shop and sells them. Never knew his shop was there, I was never in their back yard before. So my guests now visit this unique shop and can purchase a grandfathers clock or a small alarm clock in different types of wood. The “Amish Garden Walk” starts at the Amish School house and they sell bake goods and have a dessert snack and beverage for all of us to enjoy. As we walk to the different Amish gardens, the Amish grocery store gives out “FREE” homemade ice cream. I enjoy the beautiful landscape, their farm animals, vegetable gardens and flower gardens….with NO weeds. A very enjoyable day! Bring your camera! We are all helping their Amish children learn by donating to their school.

What’s New at the Scottish Bed and Breakfast

We are very excited about the outside garden patio (from the poolroom door) being extended 18 feet with decorative colored concrete. It will give our guests more room to sit outside eat breakfast or just relax and enjoy the weather and the countryside and all the birds singing. It is such a quiet, peaceful area. More flower beds will be added, lighting under the tables with chairs. Also, with the new space we will be able to offer outside weddings. The weddings will be held outside and the reception will be poolside. After being in the B&B business for 7 years, we want to expand our business to offer small intimate or second time around weddings. Homer has several projects to do before the electrician and the concrete company comes in. The first project was to cut down the tree in back. He can check that off his list, then move all the rocks, that is the hardest project and he is still in the process of doing that. Stay tune for pictures and progress. He is just waiting for the weather to break…….
