A Travelogue of Beautiful Botanical Gardens
View some of the extraordinary Botanical Gardens across the U.S. with commentary and photo galleries made to enjoy while relaxing. As I travel I continue to compile a varied and idea rich set of photos and information on many types of gardens, parks and arboretums. I will include some homes and gardens of famous artists and authors that are open for public view and are quite inspirational.
Covering a huge cross section of the U.S. and even some gardens abroad, the travelogue has information on a wide range of climates, conditions and garden styles.
The travelogue publishes monthly and has a low subscription rate.
“Lethe” in my flower, Of which they who drink In the fadeless orchards Hear the Bobolink! Merely flake or petal As the eye behold Jupiter! My father! I perceive the rose!” – Emily Dickinson
