It has been two years since I started writing this blog and it has brought more enjoyment to my life than I could have possibly imagined. My love of gardening goes back as far as when I was five years old, growing marigolds in pretty planters on our old brick barbecue in the backyard, and possessing a love to dig in the soil with my toy shovel. I guess that is where it all started. I have always had a passion for anything green and realized by 1996 that I should make this passion more than just a hobby. With the encouragement of family and friends I went back to school, furthered my education and started up a landscape design business. Now I can share my lifelong passion and enjoy working with others and their gardens...who could ask for more! After seeing the movie "Julia and Julie" in 2009 I set out on the Internet on a quest for garden blogs and was surprised to find a whole new world out there. I wondered if I wrote about gardening if anyone would come to read it so I started "A Guide To Northeastern Gardening" February of 2010. Since then I have met a wealth of garden blogging friends who are such a joy to know and share ideas with. I can say that blogging has truly enriched my life. To celebrate two years of blogging here are some of my favorite gardening photos that I would like to share. I hope you enjoy them!

As a fellow NYer, I really enjoy your blog. Congrats on your anniversary, and many, many more. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogaversary x 2! :) Good for you in going back to school and pursuing your dreams. I'm sure it took a lot of courage to do so, but I bet every day you are paid back by being able to work in the soil and with plants. Your pictures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Al and HolleyGarden. Pursing my dreams did take a lot of hard work and I couldn't have done it without my support system. I am so thankful for those important people in my life and am thankful everyday that I followed through!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Lee! Who would have known how far this would go and how much joy it would bring to you! WE love you and admire your work--all of it, in the science department, too! xoxo
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 2nd year of blogging! Enjoyed the garden photos!
