Help Us Choose A Winner

There is nothing quite like the grandeur of the late season garden. Migrating monarchs and hummingbirds are searching for nectar, while bumblebees are busy preparing for winter. The late evening glow catches the light of the last blooms of the season. Thank you to everyone who submitted photos! We love to see your gardens thriving and full of life.
