Holiday Traditions 12.7.23

This ornament represents my love of gardens and gardening – my years as a landscape designer and attending to my own small gardens at home. There is something deeply satisfying about kneeling in the dirt, plunging a trowel into the soil and tenderly situating a new plant in the garden.

While traveling, my garden “bug” is satiated with excursions to any and all public gardens along our route and photographing plants in the wild. I admit to judging all public gardens against my standard – Longwood Gardens, in Chester County, PA. It is where I grew up and I’ve yet to visit another garden that quite measures up! But, I’ll keep searching! 🙂
