I am lucky to have a pretty wonderful garden at home, and drive to a wonderful garden at work--but in between, I can drive by yet another amazing garden: Mike Kintgen's homestead is chockablock full of gems: here a stretch along the south sidewalk photographed yesterday.

Now brace yourself: the next picture is taken of the SAME spot a few months ago...
3 or four months makes a difference, don't you think? The flashiest sidewalk planting ever!
There are many blessings in our lives we often take for granted: having Mike Kintgen as a colleague and a friend is near to the top of mine! His garden is a perennial delight.
What a blessing.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'd drive out of my way to go by that sidewalk planting. Nice work Mike!
ReplyDeleteI too am a fan of Mike's work. In public gardens, and in this case his own personal garden.
ReplyDeleteThat's an incredible transformation from spring to fall. Gorgeous in both seasons
