How do DINE gardens grow

With an unusually cold winter and spring, the gardens at the 11 Distinctive Inns of New England are a bit behind, but Mother Nature played catch up for a few days recently and warm sunshine helped to make those gardens pop. Spring time has definitely come to Northern New England DINE inns, and summer is on it's way to reaching our Southern DINE members. Time to start planning your spring and summer getaways to DINEcountry!

Part II: Visualizing Spring

Throughout New England birds are returning, tiny buds are beginning to show, and spring getaways to romantic New England inns are on the mind. Each of the 11 DINE inns are ready to welcome travelers with everything from outdoor getaways to culinary capers. Even if you don't see spring in your backyard, we're making it easy to see it in ours. Just visualizing spring and summer gardens puts spring in our steps and a smile on our faces. We hope it does the same for you!

Visualizing spring in DINE country – Part I

We may have just received upwards of two feet of snow in the Northern parts of DINE country, but it doesn't mean we can't still look forward to spring. Given the winter we've had, spring may not spring forth anytime in the next month, so we thought it might be fun to show you what you have to look forward to. Nothing gets you psyched for spring like a view of the colorful flowers you'll find at the eleven Distinctive Inns of New England. And nothing beats a romantic spring getaway at one of the DINE inns either. We promise it won't be too much longer until you see scenes like this when you visit #DINE country.
