We’re in Full Bloom!

May 28, 2024

By Al Zehnder, CEO of Zehnder’s of Frankenmuth

As I came in to work this morning, I drove past each of our properties. Our grounds crew, from The Fortress, were putting the finishing touches on our flower beds that generally follow a red, white and blue color palate. Over 400 flats of flowers, hundreds of individual plants, hanging baskets, and dozens of herbs. Everything from geraniums to alyssum. Each planting bed is a beautiful mix of annuals and perennials.

The centerpiece of our garden at Zehnder’s is our topiary chicken. Begun in a greenhouse in early April, it is stuffed with nearly 6,000 red and white begonias.

If you find yourself in our beautiful city, take the time to stroll up our front porch. You may see one or more of our crew tending to their handiwork. If you have a question, please ask. They’re as proud of their work as I am.

Our entire team is ready to extend an enthusiastic welcome to Frankenmuth and the Zehnder family of properties this Summer. We’re in full bloom!

Hospitably Yours!

Al Zehnder, CEO
