Travelogue of Public Gardens and Gardens that inspired Artists

Want to visit beautiful public gardens around the USA? Or enjoy them from your armchair? Either way this is an educational diary helping you to learn about gardens in different climate zones, interesting plants, specialized planting types, tips on ideas for the home gardener, architectural features in gardens and how to combine colors and textures to create gorgeous landscapes. I was interested to see that there are homes of Artists and Writers, open to the public, that have gardens that the artists created or were inspired by. I will include some of these sites in the travelogue.

Check out my blog for past gardens I visited before developing this course. There are some beautiful gardens described there. The travelogue will have a more comprehensive look at the gardens visited and photo galleries to show different sections of the properties.

This is a written course with photos.

I will be adding chapters to the travelogue course  continuously. This product has a monthly subscription price of $3.99. With a subscription you will have access to all the travelogue article past and present.
