It is a spectacular feeling to know that someone in Stavanger, Norway or Athens, Greece or Adelaide, Australia or Hinsdale, Illinois is reading my words....I take that honor very seriously.
I live north of New York City...born and bred in Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan....a 'kid from the boroughs'.
I have been in the landscape design, planning and teaching profession for 40 years. I am an engaging and popular speaker and present Powerpoint talks often to professional groups, at meetings and to garden clubs. Please feel free to contact me. I write articles, books and teach...communication with others is my aim.

People often ask me how I get the ideas for my blog entries and I must admit that I don't know. I frequently wake up and my mind has a germ of an idea in it ...as I sit down to write, it unfolds and voila! the dream is reality.
I was born in a Rabbit Year.
People born in the year of the Rabbit like the following:
Color : Pale Green
Gems : Crystal, Emerald, Pearl
Gifts: CD, fine wine, easel, lyrics books
Pastimes: Writing poetry, hiking, planting gardens, chatting with friends [and writing blog posts]
Rabbits love to learn about different cultures.
Rabbits spend a lot of their lifetimes trying to find inner peace. [lifetimes?]
They like to release their creative energies with such things as photography.
Well - that about sums me up.

This blog is my way to meet and stay in touch with other garden aficionados. I talk about what interests me and hope that others sharesome of my interests.
I point my camera lens at nature's glories and man's creativity. I hope, through this blog, you are inspired by the simple, the rustic, the idea and the dream.
