After a long cruel winter, spring is coming around the corner as the first of daffodils and magnolias show color and begin to open. It is the focus of a NY Times article in this week's Sunday clippings. Landscape architects, artists, and creative types must be looking forward to waking from the winter slumber, and a few are featured here. The Top Ten Gardens should inspire us to plan our travels and book flights to see them as the end of April is a good time for good transatlantic fares before they go up in summer. Those longer days should be good ones for gardening and dreaming!
