Clifford Country Gardens
Clifford Country Bed & Breakfast is surrounded by gardens. We have perennial gardens, a vegetable garden, and pear & apple trees. Wildflowers too.
Nature offers its special bounty each season in Vermont--spring: fiddlehead ferns and ramps (wild leeks), summer: garden vegetables, fall: fruit from the orchard.
The raised-bed vegetable garden at Clifford Country provides a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. Sustainable agriculture depends on a steady supply of organic matter--our composting system provides high quality "food" for the plants, which in turn feed us. Vegetable scraps from the kitchen and yard waste are then recycled back into the garden through composting.
Specially designed 3-bin hot composting system converts large amounts of yard and kitchen waste to usable compost in a short time.
Children pick radishes in the Clifford Country garden while their grandfather and owner Emily Clifford Jackson look on.
Guests help themselves to apples from the old orchard in the back yard.
Spring wildflowers include the elusive Jack-in-the-pulpit.
