This bench gave me the classic opportunity to employ a trick of the trade I have learned as a photojournalist: whenever you find a well framed view in a garden … go the opposite side and look back.

This bench is found in the Willenberg garden in Minnesota.  The garden is a series of habitats as garden rooms with prairies, woodlands, no mow meadows, and wonderful native perennial borders.  It is a new garden profile, “Better Than Lawn“, free to members in the Learning Center.
