I’m back from a wonderful week photographing gardens in four states – Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania Most of the gardens I photographed were ones I visited during my Gardens of Philadelphia workshop. After the workshop ended, I took a day to visit the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. There is an amazing exhibit of some of Dale Chihuly’s glass sculptures at the the NYBG – so I just had to visit while I was in the area. I thought I’d share a few of my photos from the trip (and an exciting announcement) with you today.

And my big announcement is that I will be leading my Gardens of Philadelphia workshop again next year. The gardens were incredible – lots of wonderful flowers everywhere. Tentative dates are May 6-11, 2018. The workshop will be limited to 6 participants. If this workshop sounds like an adventure you’d like to join me for, drop me a note and I’ll make sure you’re among the first to hear when registration opens.
