Yeah, its cold and raw outside....Its about this time of year every year that I start thinking about seeds...coldframes....growing herbs... I harbor a strong desire for ANYTHING green!...Fortunately a beautiful estate and garden located in eastern PA named Winterthur fills some of that needy void, even in the winter...
Their woodland gardens are great places to get lost...And their garden shop is filled with items to make any gardener sigh with delight...
Sometimes its fun just to observe the raptors along the garden paths that are much easier to spot when theres no foliage...
No matter what season is happening, theres always interesting flora and fauna...
One of my favorite spots is the Enchanted Forest, where a HUGE nest invites one to jump inside...
The sweeping vista of the pond and hillside are worth the short hike to get there....
Bunny Run Garden is surrounded by a forest of trees....so coming to Winterthur gives me ideas on what to put in a shady woodland garden...
I hope you find a quiet sanctuary to contemplate and dream this winter.....in preparation for the warm months ahead.....
Gorgeous and congratulations on the website. I love it. Very good name for the blog and suits you well. Do you have lots of bunny stuff? I think you do right?
ReplyDeleteYep, Anna...lots of bunny stuff!.....planters, pictures, garden plaques, bookends, books..Even a replica of a Roman house plaque bunny I found at Bath, UK..
ReplyDelete..Hubby thinks its getting to be a bit of an obsession...lol...Thanks for your encouragement and support!
This is kinda fun, doing the blogging thing.
Maybe I will get a chance to visit Winterthur one day...probably isn't 'too, too' far from VA--and my mom lives in Delaware so that could be a decent trip too, right? Great start on the blog. Blog when you feel like it...don't let yourself feel pressured. Just have fun!! You might want to register at Blotanical, just to be in the listings. Plus, you will meet more bloggers there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan, for the tip..Im going to register on Blotanical(cute name!).....Im excited about blogging and happy to finally have an outlet for my writing urges.....Yes, Winterthur is worth the trek...Once you are here, the magnetic pull will bring you back...again and again...Delaware is a small state so a drive here is not terribly long from most anywhere in Delmarva.
ReplyDeleteHi Bunny Run! I live in Wilmington, so you were close by on your trip to Winterthur. I used to take lunch time walks there a couple of times a week. The March walk will be beautiful with naturalized spring bulbs next month. I too started a blog last month. Has been fun so far. Keep up your fine work. George
ReplyDeleteHey George...Lucky you for having lunches at Winterthur!..Im planning on getting back there in March to see the beautiful carpet of bulbs..Looking forward to reading your blog...Thanks for checking out mine.
