Hello there sorry I haven't blogged you all lately, but my PC has been down. We have the green house full, and we have cleaned up from the scary night tours. We have been trying to keep up with the fall leaves,and dead heading the plants in our gardens. We didn't have a very long fall show this season.We have re plastic the green house, to pro long it's life, the old one went 13 years, so hopefully this will last 15. Come out and see the castle through the winter sat-sun from 11-5pm. Have a wonder full Holiday and start planning for the spring bulb show. See you soon at the castle.

well hello everyone, I have wonderful news!! The Knights have replaced the 13 yr. old plastic on our greenhouse. We needed to do it , we have over a hundred potted plants to bring in every year.The greenhouse is an awesome thing to have, every year we clone and dived, and seed . the Knights have been great by picking up my slack since I've been done and out.this has been hard for me to slow way down on my gardening and other work at the castle, but it will get better in time. I want to take this time and let you all know that the guys have been busy trying to dry up the castle and our garage, bye painting a sealer on top, and tuck pointing the outside of the castles walls.also the have laid new water lines for the watering to get easier for us ole folk. Also they have laid electric and cable and telephone pipe, They have been doing a great job!!! I just wished I could contribute more.Well let's get back to the gardens, please come out and check out the fall colors, and plants that are blooming now and til winter. You have to come out when it snows it is beautiful out here, just call first weather pending, we will close if it is bad, 513 -683-4686, or go on line to www.lovelandcastle.com.

hello there,We have had a wonderful season as far as blooms and foliage, I am so glad that we have a camera to share with those that can't be here,to actually see our gardens and castle.

this summer has been some what different, more cooler days then ever. Our rain that we had wasn't enough to water a fourth of our gardens, so thank you Sirs for helping to keep the gardens watered. It is not easy for a hand full of people to keep everything going, I still don't understand how Sir Harry did it all. I know no matter what I will continue to do what needs to be done, until I can't do it anymore. Then I hope my grandson will continue on for the castle.We do take extra help if anyone would like to come out and pull weeds, or help in any way. The gardens are still kicking with the summer blooms, so come out and enjoy these gardens. It won't be long and the snow will be falling, and I will be busy in the greenhouse, I will be busy all winter, because I pull many containers in, and I colone, do cuttings and multiplying all kinds of plants.I am excited for the next growing season, thank you for your support and interest. Have a great day.

well hello there, sorry I haven't blogged lately. Have been alittle busy, but doing well, the weather has been rough at the castles gardens. But with alittle help our gardens are doing well, and blooming as planned. I don't know if the night blooming Cyrus will bloom or not this year??? you see we had a bit of a freeze in our green house awhile ago, our furnace went down,well it was given to us many years ago and it was ten years old then.It has been up for a year now, thanks to Sir Joe and a furnace guy!!I had two of them two years ago, but I only have one now, maybe I will transplant it this winter. Anyway, the waddling is going slow but continuing, half way there. It will be wonder full when it is complete! we already have had 100 people take pictures in front of it. It is awesome to do new things in our gardens that no one has around here. here are a couple of shots of the gardens, I hope you like them.
