Historic Gardens, Newburyport
August 9th, 2007My practical and down to earth friend, who loves historic gardens, wrote me an email concerning the previous post.
As a professional Landscape Designer she did take a class in historic preservation and to quote my friend, “There are tons of good questions, and not nearly as many good answers,” (about how to integrate an historic garden into the lives of people in the 21st Century.)
Oh, well. But not entirely surprising.
Because these photographs are so delightful, I thought I would put them on the Newburyport Blog for readers to enjoy on this Newburyport New England summer day.
