Lots going on at the garden, despite the astronomical amount of rain and thunderstorms we got this week. The Rhododendron Garden is full of azaleas in various stages of flowering in all different different colors of whites, pinks, purples and reds. It really is quite amazing to walk through and observe.
Here's a photographic snippet of how things are going in the garden:
Horticulture: the word is derived from the Latin noun 'hortus,' meaning 'garden,' and the Latin verb 'colere,' meaning 'to foster, maintain or cultivate.' 'Colere' evolved into the word 'culture' in Middle English, and to this day culture is what we use to describe the life around us. By surrounding ourselves with the culture of the garden, whatever you deem a garden, we are able to be in touch the closest thing to Nature itself.
