A Peaceful and Beautiful Country Retreat
Sublime Thyme Gardens surround the buildings of Holstein House; a privately owned second generation century farm located between Albany and Corvallis, Oregon south of Hwy 34. It was built in 1900 and the classic red barn followed soon thereafter. The existing gardens began to develop in the 1980s by Bonny Bowens who resides there now with her husband, John, the "maintenance foreman". Various themed gardens include a Streamside Garden, the Autumn Garden, a semi formal English cottage garden which includes ponds and a stream and cottage, A Knot Garden and so much more. Other areas too delight visitors such as the Secret Garden, the Tunnel Trellis, the Soothing Shade Garden and, well, you'll just have to see it to appreciate it!
Sublime Thyme Gardens offers outdoor weddings and special events late May to mid October.
Also we offer great accommodations for class and personal reunions, business retreats and other special events!
All Weddings and special events receive our personal attention so we may maintain that unique quality that each should have. We are a husband and wife team and we have opened our home and gardens to share with you for your enjoyment, offering a family approach.
