Filling in the blanks
I felt something was missing in The Good-for-Nothing Garden--the story about my garden that appeared in the New York Times yesterday. The story was right on spot--perceptively, sensitively, and humorously written by Michael Tortorello.But the photos focused primarily on plant portraits, making it impossible for readers to get a sense of the garden as a whole. I missed some visual representation of the spatial character of the garden, a more long distance view, and that has since been confirmed by many visitors to the Garden Conservancy Open Days. So I want to address that perceived imbalance. Without narration, here are some photos I took this morning between about 9 and 10 am. None of them give a full overview of the garden, which is very difficult to do, but they do help. They're oversized so you can expand them with a mouse click.
