Forgive me for not having the proper names of the gardens of Day 2. I've lost my handout with the garden descriptions that we were given on the bus. Someone please let me know the names!
The first stop for my bus on Day 2 was a school garden. It was very charming and a great outdoor lab for classes. One of the parents was showing off her kid's nature notebook, complete with drawings and all sorts of insights. I could imagine this as an excellent precursor to the detailed notebook of a future gardener.
The next garden had a split personality disorder. Near the house was a beautifully detailed Japanese garden complete with tea house and koi pond. Beyond that was the "outsider art" or "visionary environment" garden with collections and sculptures made from very modest materials. Kind of nice to be able to go out into one's garden and choose between such different spaces.
Hi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteThese were the Stonewall Jackson Elementary School garden and David Gibson's garden.
Thank you so much Claire!
