Alice ,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you reminded me of Sonoma Hort.
I bet it is looking just 'off the charts' right now.
Must bring a picnic lunch and hope that nobody else has
snagged the picnic table next to the pond.
thanks for the reminder.

Michelle,
ReplyDeleteWe may have to fight over the picnic table!
Definitely one of the best local days trips I can imagine on a Spring day.
What a great post, highlighting gardens all over for us to visit. Spring is such a great time to stroll around!
ReplyDeleteHi Alice, what a varied lot of photos - all so appealing - one day ... dream on ... cheers, catmint
ReplyDeleteLove that Ira Keller Fountain
ReplyDeleteHey Wendy and Catmint,
ReplyDeleteSo much to see.. I'm dreaming along with you. There's just never enough time!
Stone Art,
Seeing the Keller Fountain was more than I could ever have imagined after having viewed images of it countless times. If you visit the West Coast, I highly recommend it a visit to Portland.
Wow Alice! Love it all, fantastic post. I especially like the Andy Goldsworthy installation.
