What I need most of all is color, always, always. ~ Claude Monet
My first spring outing to Ladew Gardens in Monkton, Maryland came about about a two weeks ago. The drive through Fox and Hound Hunt Country is always beautiful, any time of year.
It was a glorious day! Even the koi in the pond down in the Iris garden were celebrating. They were leaping out of the water – either in pursuit of newly hatched bugs or a mate!
I’ve shared just a few photos and to think the riot has just begun! You have to go see it for yourself. In my book, frequent visits to what has been said as a top topiary garden in the world is mandatory if you want to really appreciate an unfolding of color all summer long.
