Greetings, collectors! I say it all the time, but today is off-the-hook, insane busy here at JBHQ. We just announced the winners of the first edition of Hey, Hot Shot! 2008 and there are about a million other things going on AND I am getting on a plane tomorrow morning, kicking off my epic tour of the west coast. (More on all that next week.)

You're not reading anymore are you? If you are stop, click and buy before the fabulous Beth Dow's photograph, Clearing, Wakehurst Place is gone.

It's a beauty, isn't it? The whole In The Garden series is full of one gem after another, all surreal, lush and just gorgeous. I've been in love with the work since last Fall, and I still am. Aren't you?

I can barely catch my breath today, so short and sweet will have to do. I leave you to tend to your gardens, and will report back soonest with tales to tell from the other coast.
