Join STONYBROOK STORIES for a 5 part series tour to learn about local Pacific Northwest Landscapes that will wake-up your biophilic instinct (Biophilia is our deep human need to connect with nature). We will explore a variety of sites including natural habitats, urban landscapes, and private garden gems to discover why each site has so much to offer during 2023.
The variety of landscapes that I have chosen to share are full of inspiration even on the gloomiest of days. While I share the individual sites, look for elements in each photo that offer fascination.Â
Rainy Winter days are full of beauty when you learn where to look! I know that all my readers will find aspects of each garden that speaks to their own imagination. Here are a few previews of our 2023 garden tour series to enjoy right now!
