This week I’d like to focus on having some FUN in the garden!! We’re talking wild and whimsical here, folks. Let’s kick it off today with a shot from a few years ago at the entrance to the children’s garden at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, New York. Brightly colored ribbons over the entryway flutter and sway, and you have to part them with your hands to pass. It’s a curtain of sorts, and partially obscurs the fun to come, making it just a bit mysterious. Got any garden fun to share? We’ll be having fun in the garden all week. Email me!

Welcome to the Fine Gardening GARDEN PHOTO OF THE DAY blog! Every weekday we post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green.

Sign up to get new posts delivered to your inbox each morning so you’ll always remember to take a look, or subscribe to our RSS feed. We look forward to sharing our garden travels with you.

If you think you have a photo that we should share on the Garden Photo of the day, email us. Send hi-res images to [email protected] with GPOD in the subject line. We’ll only respond if we plan to use your photo.
