Connecticut holds old stories and lovely views. It is home to gardens that bring calm smiles. A book named "Connecticut Gardens: A Celebration of the State’s Historic Public and Private Gardens" is new. Karen B. Davis made the book with clear photos that show each garden’s beauty and past.
The Genesis of a Book
Karen B. Davis is a photographer with a clear aim. She had one season to take pictures. Rain fell in early summer 2022, and she worked hard during this short time. Davis woke at 3:30 AM and drove to each garden. Dawn’s soft light filled her images. Her work shows her love for both taking photos and the natural land.
Exploring Connecticut’s Gardens
Davis first searched for old gardens. She picked spots that lie next to historic houses open to all. This choice gave her just fifteen sites. She then added parks and private gardens to the list. Her book tells how to visit these places. It works as a guide for those who love gardens.
Notable Gardens Featured
The cover shows River Road Farm, a garden made by Rob Nester and Bill Reynolds. Sleepy Cat Farm is another site that gives a rare look, much like gardens seen in Europe. Each garden holds a story of care and hard work. Their efforts show a side of Connecticut that lives in each plot of land.
