Today's photos are from Edgardo Aro. Edgardo says, "I am a snowbird (northerner traveling south during winter) from Mayfield Village, Ohio. I just returned from my winter travels to the southern and southwestern states. On my trip back I visited the Kingwood Center in Mansfield, Ohio, on Easter Sunday. Even in the cold temperatures of early Ohio spring the garden was already displaying vibrant colors from the thousands of tulips, the flowering crab apples, the redbuds, and the cold-loving perennials. I was probably the first visitor to come to the garden that day but was soon joined by the locals, who appeared to have come from Sunday services wearing their finest and eager to see the colorful evidence of spring after a long winter." Beautiful, Edgardo! I had never heard of the Kingwood Center before--I'm so glad you introduced us to it!

RebeccaShort writes: What a lovely view of a garden in early spring. As a southerner transplanted to England and then to Canada (also lived in N. Ohio and NYC), I have come to love spring as my favourite gardening season. The promise is what is so exciting. Thank you for the photos. Posted: 8:42 am on April 19th

Lisianne writes: What a coincidence! I have a visit planned to Kingwood this weekend. My dad dragged us kids there nearly every summer and now I visit every couple years. The gardens are particularly beautiful during daylily season. The conservatory is my favorite place on the grounds.
