A little over six years ago Jeff Gilman called me out of the blue and asked me to be part of a new blog about the science of horticulture that he was embarking on along with Linda Chalker-Scott. I was reluctant – I didn’t know much about social media at the time and was plenty busy already. Jeff explained that he was recruiting others and how we would rotate posts. I asked Jeff, “What if I don’t have anything to write about?” Jeff replied, “Just post some pretty pictures or something.” So with that long ago conversation as backdrop, here are a few photos from this week’s trip to Hidden Lake Gardens near Tipton, Michigan.
Taxodium distichum “Pendens’ cones
Sassafras albidum fall color
Dwarf conifer collection at Hidden lake Gardens one of my favorite spots. There grow all of the plants I wish I had. I can visit and pretend I own them.
Indeed. It’s great place to visit anytime but spectacular in the fall!
Thanks for the pretty pictures Fun to see a beautiful world on the computer when the world outside is cold and dreary 🙂
