Hillside Gardens

I stopped by Hillside Gardens yesterday to buy some plants for my garden. Not only is Hillside Gardens a nursery, it's an incredible venue for live concerts and weddings, and what's even cooler is that it used to be a junkyard! (I remember going there in search of parts for my '69 Karmann Ghia.) Several years ago a guy named Larry bought the property with all its contents and painstakingly turned it into his own personal work of art. There are several beautifully planted acres dotted with interesting artifacts from the old junkyard, like antique gas pumps, farm implements, ancient sewing machines, and other odds and ends, all cleverly juxtaposed with ponds, pergolas, drifts of flowers, and splashing fountains. Such a nice place for a wedding (and I've shot many weddings at Hillside Gardens!). What's even nicer is that it's only five minutes from my house :o)
