I'm working on my talk for April 3 and the official launch of Gardens of Santa Fe. I'm lucky to have Don Strel as my partner in this beautiful book. I really don't need to say much---his beautiful photos do the the talking.
But, since people have already been asking, I'll mention a bit about how the book came to be and talk about some of our adventures and the wonderful people we met along the way. The cover photo, for instance, is from the garden of artist Joan Gibbons and her exuberant husband, Gib. Joan could make a plastic plant come to life---she's blessed with an intuitive knowledge of what grows best where. Hers was the only garden Don and I visited where we say hydrangeas thriving. (the blue flowers in the photo.) That plant really isn't intended for Santa Fe's high, dry climate, but Joan helps it along.
After the event at Santa Fe's Garcia Street Books (next to Downtown Subscription coffee house), Don and I will do benefits for Santa Fe Botanical Garden and the Santa Fe Garden Club. We're also scheduling a couple of signings in Albuquerque.
Meanwhile, my daffodils are blooming and, at least for today, no more snow in the forecast.
