In the midst of late March snow and so many unknowns about the time ahead, it felt like a good moment to share some photos from last year. You might have noticed that we didn't post very much last year, except about our travels. But we were still out enjoying many gardens, and even got some photos. As we wait for spring to unfold this year, here then are some memories of last year's garden season. There are a few installation projects we worked on, some stunning plants, nice color or texture combinations, fun or interesting structural details, and general nice scenes. Taken as a whole it gives a sense of the progress of the gardens from spring emergence through summer lushness to autumnal splendor and late season subtlety. Hopefully you can enjoy the reminder that spring will come as we live through this uncertain, changing time.

Moving in to spring in various ways...
The flowers emerge first inside, then out, domestic and wild.
The fullness of summer blooms and color and foliage.
Details and moments and reminders to look up and around
Late summer and fall edges closer.
Some of the projects in various stages of the installation process. Time to take some update photos this year!
Fall blazes in and then gets more subtle as the season finally ebbs.
Winter is beautiful, too, with a chance to rest and notice structure and gain momentum for springing forward. But I'll let the memories of those sparking days and long nights be evoked by these words and not photos for now. And leave with a few photos Edwin took in mid-March of the bulb fields and scenery in the Netherlands to remind us of our connections to many places.
