A Visit to Maine

One of the nicest things about being a garden designer and horticulturist is that I can do research for my work every time I step outside the door. I tend to mentally redesign every property that I see, and assess the health of all the plants on it. So when I get to take a trip to a truly inspiring landscape like the coast of Maine, it is a real treat, and provides ample material for me to analyze (and enjoy!).

Monarch Butterflies

On a balmy September day in 2002, I was standing in a field in Central Virginia, watching brilliant orange Monarch butterflies float by like leaves that refused to fall. They stopped just long enough to sip some nectar from wild field asters—fuel for their long migration south.
