Kevin's Garden

Das Garten Haus was visited by Robin Lynn Griggs, the editor of The Herb Companion. In "Notes from the Editor", September 1999, she wrote:

"I recently stayed at Das Garten Haus, a bed-and-breakfast with grounds that live up to the name, in Fredericksburg, Texas. The proprietor, Kevin MacWithey, is a professional horticulturist who knew more than I ever will about gardening by the time he was fifteen years old (he spent his youthful summers gardening alongside his dad, a University of Montana botany professor)."         

In the April/May 2000 issue of The Herb Companion, Robyn Griggs Lawrence wrote:

"The back door to my room at Das Garten Haus bed and breakfast opens onto a New Orleans-style courtyard full of blooming dianthus, pansies, violas, calendulas, and alyssum. Just beyond the garden, in a field of wildflowers, two gamecocks and two dozen chickens scavenge for insects and take care of table scraps."

Easter Sunday in the Hill Country! 
"Dear Lynn and Kevin - once again we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your inviting Bed and Breakfast - Das Garten Haus!  This is our ninth year to Fredericksburg and our seventh stay at your abode.  The garden becomes lovelier every year and it is a welcoming sight to weary travelers.  Your hard work certainly was worth the beauty you created!"
