You expressed everything I feel every time I visit the Biltmore grounds. So you are not only an amazing horticulturist and writer with a great sense of humor, but a musician too? Thank you again for sharing your talents with us!

Thanks so much for this, had no idea they offered tours. Isn't it lovely to see hotel landscaping that includes less commonly planted things and has staff that knows what they're doing, how plants grow, etc?! If those $8000 suites help pay for this, I say bravo. But $8000/night? Really? I am so not there.... I could spend two months in Europe for that amount, and eat and sleep well every day. If I had it to spare.

Billy, Thanks for your photo tour and information on the plants. You mention visitors from the snowy winters, think about the delight of a refreshing sea breeze on guests now coming from O'Hare, or anywhere in the literally baking mid-west and east. We are so lucky to have our weather, even fog is a better option than "over 100".

I chose the Biltmore for my wedding night 6/21/86 and have always felt that it is a very special place. Thank you for letting us know there are garden tours. We would love to reminisce about the beginning of our happy years together while seeing the lovely garden. We will have to drink a toast to you for sharing yet another beautiful treasure of our town :)

Culpa mea: Looks like I relied on web info that was inaccurate when I listed the upper end cost of the presidential suite. It's not $8000; it's $4600 so I'm booking a couple of weeks for me and my entourage.
