A Garden Summit in St. Paul
Summit Avenue is one of the most historic streets in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Noerenberg Memorial Garden

A Gardening Couple’s Magnificent Obsession
As an obsessed gardener, I can sense right away when I am visiting a garden belonging to fellow fanatics.

A Pollinator Paradise

Lyndale Park Gardens

Overdue Orioles
The Baltimore Orioles were supposed to arrive early this year (according to people who know their birds), but came late instead. Normally they arrive right around May 1, but this year Judy saw our first Oriole on Thursday, May 5. Perhaps our topsy turvy spring weather first hastened and then delayed their arrival.
Enhanced Nature on Display
The Toronto Botanical Garden was the last stop of the 2015 Garden Bloggers Fling (and this is my last post on that trip).
