What an amazing experience!

Way back in March, Country Gardens Magazine Editor, James Baggett called to tell me my greenhouse and garden

had been selected to be  photographed for the magazine!

I have loved Country Gardens Magazine for years–and have the stack of back issues to prove it!

James confirmed the dates of their visit earlier this month, and Field Editor Kate Carter-Frederick and I began

a couple weeks of email correspondence.

From her first email, I knew we shared a love of gardening and would become friends.

I knew of her work in Country Gardens Magazine and she is an accomplished writer, and author of many books.

Joining Kate Carter-Frederick, was photographer Karla Conrad and her assistant, Jennifer Caes.

What an amazing team these two were.

Young, enthusiastic, fun, and talented!

They jumped right in, and became a part of the garden for 2 very long days!

and it was HOT!  melting Hot!

I so “enjoyed the journey”.

Thank you.
