Early Spring at the Lincoln Memorial Garden
Last Friday I stopped to visit Springfield’s Lincoln Memorial Garden on my way out of town. It is one of the few gardens designed by Jens Jensen (a hero of mine) that still retains the essential elements of his plan, which included only plants native to Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky.
There was not much in bloom, though a lot of plants were on the brink. I decided to write a post anyway, taking inspiration from the blog New Hampshire Gardening Solutions. In that blog you can read some fascinating posts taken from walks in the woods where most of us would say there is nothing to see.
