I thought it would be fun to show some of the images I took of the wonderful Country Gardens team at work.
Field Editor and Producer, Kate Carter Frederick carefully chose the areas of the garden she wanted to capture.
Karla Conrad was the photographer, along with her assistant Jennifer Caes.
Cameras, cords, equipment, oh, my!
down to earth digs 
Hi there, are the photos / article online? Would love to see them x
You can get a digital copy Clare, from http://www.bhg.com/country-garden-magazine
They also have a facebook page they sometimes post a few pics of the current issue.
Let me know if you can’t get a copy, I’ll see what I can do–friend!

Hi Stacey, thanks for the link – the problem is that it say’s it “cant find the page I’m looking for” – what search term should I use on thei rsite, or what date was it published? you can see I really want to see your garden in full on magazine glory 🙂
This is so great, like a dream come true. How did you come to be the subject of their article? Did you write a blog post on how you happened to be chosen?
I sent them a few images from my garden–a long time ago–Sept of 2011. The editor called me in March of 2012 and they came for 2 days in July. It’s been a waiting game since then!
I have had the wonderful fortune of becoming friends with the Field Editor Kate Carter Frederick and she has kept me posted on the progress of the story.
Yes, Pinch me!

I am sure it was hard to keep this photo private until the spread came out.
I had to be careful what I posted on the blog…not to give to much away!
What a fun job they have. How long did you preen the garden for before their arrival. We’re you super nervous? The red chairs look great! They really POP.
Getting the garden ready was a full time job-with overtime! I weeded 8 to 12 hours a day. Constant watering, as it was a hot Summer.
They only brought a few plants to add to the shots, everything in the images was mine. They spent 2 days with us here, working in heat and bright, bright sun. Sun makes it harder to get the images. So much goes into each shot they set up.
They couldn’t have been any nicer to have in the garden. We chatted it up and I have become friends with Field Editor Kate Carter Frederick.
It was an amazing experience and I feel very lucky!
