Sunday quote, Living sculpture at Olympic gardens
If dandelions were hard to grow, they would be most welcome on any lawn.
Andrew Mason
Speaking of hard to grow … Hat tip to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for pointing out this video of the Beijing Olympic Gardens. Better quality stills here.
GBBD scans and pix: Details, details.
I was in a hurry doing my scans this week. I think they look like crap. (They’re at the end.)
But there are details within each that look OK. So they’re first.

Sod sculpture installation at Longwood Gardens
My friend and co-worker Marcia Eames-Sheavly spent most of last week at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pa. She and one of her former students built a sod sculpture on the grounds there with the help of Longwood staff and about 30 attendees of the American Horticultural Society’s (AHS) National Children & Youth Garden Symposium.
The story and more pictures at the Cornell Living Sculpture website.
Update 7/31/2008: Charlotte Kidd, one of the symposium participants, blogged about it as part of her NGA Mid-Atlantic Regional Report: Living Sculpture For the Young and Young at Heart
