Unfortunately, the images are all 35 mm slides and I've been unable to convert them to digital images, as I have thousands in my library.

You've been to so many wonderful gardens, some of which I've seen too. Summer before last I got to England and saw a number of great gardens including Great Dixter. <br /><br />I garden in Berkeley California. One of my all time favorite gardens is nearby in El Cerrito, called the Harland Hand garden.

It's good to mix it up once in awhile and see how others handle their spaces.

There are so many gardens and ideas that I might never see in photograph or person that you have given me a window into. Oh, and don't fret about the more modern scapes being received less enthusiastically. I glean so many new and wonderful ideas about design and concept from them.

It seems most Modernist landscapes relegate plants to a secondary or lower position, which leaves some of us cold.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503383579285260292.post-28837874619128365172009-10-01T14:50:23.141-07:002009-10-01T14:50:23.141-07:00Congratulations on your 2009 Blotanical Award!
