Favorite Long Island Gardens

Every year about this time (December), I make a new wall calender for my dad and I.  We are probably the only people left on the planet who like to display a calender- at least no one else in my family does as far as I know.  Anyway, I got tired of using photos from my own garden, so I used pictures from my favorite gardens on Long Island.  These are gardens that I like to visit at least once a year.  Most of them are open to the public.  Enjoy!

Well-balanced gardens have a quality of restfulness

and exquisite perfection, with plants chosen and

placed like
words in a perfect poem.
