Called the “Sweetest Place on Earth,” Hershey, Pennsylvania is a wonderful place to celebrate the colors of Spring. We begin our day with a visit to Hershey Gardens, created by Milton S. Hershey in 1937. Upon our arrival enjoy a self-guided walking tour of these magnificent gardens overlooking the town of Hershey. What started out as a simple request by Milton Hershey to “Create a nice Garden of Roses” more than 80 years ago, has now grown from the original small rose garden into a 23-acre thriving botanical garden and arboretum. Hershey Gardens boast meticulously maintained theme gardens that feature a breathtaking assortment of flowers and shrubs, a stately collection of rare and signature trees, and a delightful Butterfly House. Spring is in full display with the peak bloom of the historic Hershey Rose Garden. More than 5,600 roses represent 275 different varieties and a rainbow of 12,000 colorful annuals, representing more than two hundred plant species will be in bloom. Some of the theme gardens include an herb garden, a rock garden, ornamental grasses, a Japanese garden, Mrs. Hershey’s rose garden and a seasonal display garden. At the Butterfly House you can walk among more than three hundred butterflies representing dozens of rare butterflies from South and Central America, Africa and Asia in a tropical setting that features colorful plants and a soothing water feature. If you stand still butterflies may choose to land on you! Next, a delicious lunch is included today at Fenicci’s of Hershey, serving up classic Italian fare since 1935! Please provide a meal choice when making your reservations. Your choices are Fettuccini Alfredo, Spaghetti Meatballs, Chicken Parmigiana or Tortellini Blush.
