Ear to the ground Hello, friends— Thank you for picking up the Upstate Gardeners’ Journal. From the gorgeous cover shot by Bonnie Guckin to the unbelievable chandelier-turnedplanter created by our very own Crafty Cathy Monrad, this issue is chock full of cool stuff! And speaking of cool stuff, I am super excited about my new garden art, purchased at the Plantasia show in Hamburg in March and recently installed at my residence by Phil Colarusso of Luminated Landscapes. It’s a blue, blown glass spire that catches the light beautifully. The spires are pictured here in an image I grabbed from the show’s Instagram page—I haven’t been able to get a good image in situ. Unfortunately I didn’t have the budget to install dozens like in the picture, or I would have—believe me.
I love garden art! And the best place to see it on the planet is at the Chelsea Flower Show, which happens at the end of each May in London. I haven’t been to the show in 15 year, but I am finally going back this spring! The only problem? There’s no way to bring all of that cool garden art home. At least I’ll have the pictures and the inspiration. Thanks, as always, for reading—
