Wonderful! I haven't been since the early days of the tribe's ownership. When they were just starting to put the garden right again. I really need to make it back up there soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you finally to your first ferry ride (aren't they fun?) especially when you were on your way to Heronswood, it is an inspiring garden. I visited just once, for a spring plant sale, shortly after the tribe took over. I believe Dan Hinkley is still serving in an advisory capacity. I wonder if visiting 3 amazing gardens in one day leave you dizzy... your post motivates me to visit again.
ReplyDeleteThat piano...every time I see photos of it, I can't help but chuckle. I have never made the trip up there. Someday... Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photographs and tour! The woodland garden is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis would be my idea of heaven Phillip .. you took wonderful photos of this amazing place.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine almost losing such stunning plants set in such a perfect back drop.
I have a weakness for woodland gardens and this was chicken soup for my garden soul, thank you !
I'm so glad that you got to tour Heronswood. I absolutely adore Heronswood!
