A Classic American Spring

And a perfect Mother's Day outing if you live in or near New York. It's the New York Botanical Garden's re-creation of Emily Dickinson's garden. Dickinson was an accomplished gardener and horticulturist. Many of the poems that she gave to friends and family during her life time were attached to a bouquet of flowers or herbs that she herself had grown. The exhibit is a wonderful idea brought to reality, an enchanting kind of time travel into the poet's natural and cultivated world. There is lots of information on the exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden website. Check it out!
