Earth laughs in flowers

Below are just a few of my personal images from Gardens Uncorked! at the Compton Gardens in Bentonville earlier this month, which I covered for the City Wire.



This sweet couple serving wine poured generously and made everyone feel welcome, stopping people to talk along the garden trail. They asked me why I kept writing things down, and encouraged me to think about advertising for the City Wire on billboards and other physical media, to reach a wider audience ("those who don't use the internet much"). I did my best to take their advice and not mention that I didn't have anything to do with advertising or editorial decisions.



The meadow was chock full of different plant species. Foxglove was everywhere.


These had beautiful markings on the inside.


My personal favorites seemed to glow as the light was dying.


Inbetween taking advantage of the blueberry brie, hors d’oeuvres and champagne, this lovely jazz duo (often seen at Legacy Blues) kept the atmosphere warm as we moved inside for dinner.
