notes and musings from a perennial gardener
More breathtaking images of the meadow at Longwood by staff member Matthew Ross. Many thanks to Matt Ross, Matt Thomas and Longwood Gardens for allowing me to share them. Matt certainly captured the meadow’s stunning beauty in this special collection.
Once a year in autumn, Longwood Gardens’ Continuing Education program offers a one-day en plein air art class in their incomparable meadow. (En plein air is French for “in the open air”.) These outings are always fun and a bit of a thrill for me. The abundant wildflowers, the other artists, the atmosphere generally, the resulting art – it’s all quite inspiring.
