Spring

The Willamette Valley….a gardeners paradise

14 May 2011

If you are a gardener, or even if you aren’t and just enjoy beautiful flowers, you will enjoy the Willamette Valley in spring and summer.  Beginning with daffodils in early spring and continuing into the fall, many gardens and nurseries are open for visitors’ enjoyment.  Currently, peonies and irises are in abundance here in the valley.

Pictured are Adelman’s Peony Gardens near Salem…a delight to the senses!

Nearby, are the colorful Schreiner’s Iris Gardens which are also beautiful view.

Tiptoe Through the Tulips Compliments of the Feller House!

25 March 2011


Join us here in the North Willamette Valley for the arrival of spring. Daffodils are in full bloom and tulip blossoms are emerging at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm with 40 acres of color at their height.


Owners say about 5% color is showing in the fields as of this opening day, March 25th, so there is plenty of time to plan your trip to enjoy the festivities that continue through May 1st. There is plenty to see and do at Wooden Shoe from demonstrations of wooden shoe making to farm equipment displays, crafters market and plenty of food to enjoy.

Stay at the Feller House, sit by the warm fire, enjoy our comfy beds, savor our hearty breakfast and then head out for a day of discovery in the beautiful Northwest. We’ll cover your entrance fee at Wooden Shoe Tulips!










Almost Spring Again

8 February 2011

Always at this time of year when the kid goats start showing up and the daffodils shoot up and buds swell, I am encouraged and feel an excitement for all the things that will be full of new life this spring.

The hellebores are almost in bloom, violets are showing their beautiful blue color and the buds are swelling on the flowering cherry outside my kitchen window. We have had ten new little goats born in the last week and already they are jumping, playing and making lots of noise.
If you are looking for a getaway in the country, come and stay at the Feller House Bed and Breakfast and enjoy some of my favorite things!
