Photo Galleries

When we were discussing the new website for Friends of the Garden, we wanted there to be a feature where some of our members could publish their photographs of the gardens and arboretum.

We hope this becomes a well-used and frequently visited area of the site. Come back often to see what new photo series have been posted to the site.

Winter Interest in the Gardens.... 2012

Not your typical January/February colors!

Not only do these examples add color and winter interest in the gardens, they're also a food source for wildlife (seeds, berries, fruit)...

My love of gardening was influenced at an early age by my grandmother and has steadily grown over the years. I became a Master Gardener in 2005 and recently a Friends of the Garden member. I have enjoyed photographing the ever changing seasons at the gardens as well as volunteering for the Master Gardeners at the hotline and the Xeriscape demonstration garden. When I began photographing flowers and insects in my own garden, I was inspired by the beauty and creativity that is present in every detail of nature.
