Where are the Beautiful Gardens?

[J.E. Shields]

Hi all,

I was recently asked by a local garden writer to suggest some really
beautiful private gardens that she could photograph and write about.

I was amazed to find that the question nearly stumped me!  I had simply
never thought about it before.

So if you can think of such, especially in the
Indiana-Illinois-Michigan-Ohio area, please let me know. You can do it
privately if you prefer, but please try to give me some contact
information. I want to e-mail or telephone the garden owners for permission
before I turn the names and addresses over to the garden writer.  They
could be one-season gardens and still be of interest here.  Right now of
course, spring gardens are in bloom.

Don't be afraid to suggest your own.  Mine is disqualified; it is more like
a scientific collection, with metal markers everywhere, and often rather
unkempt. Not much thought is given to aesthetics.

Thanks!
