Travel gives the opportunity to look at things from a different perspective.
A highlight of the trip to Sonoma was my return to the garden design "exhibition museum" CornerStone. Conrnerstone in Sonoma is based on the display gardens at the International Garden Festival at Chaumont , France, which I visited in 2004.
Cornerstone showcases the best in cutting-edge international landscape design. It gives designers a venue to use their most creative voices: a chamber within designers sing a wild song. My thanks go to the owners of Cornerstone for giving EARTH ART artists a place to create.
To not sound like a critic, but rather a curious observer.....my eyebrow went up a few times; my head shook back and forth; my hand flipped at the wrist; I was appalled and rolled my eyes; I spoke passionately to my "non-garden design" friends ...who then rolled their eyes. We all laughed...laughing is such good medicine!
Daniel....I was at the Chaumont Festival of Gardens years ago and loved it! But, just like other galleries of art....there were some spaces that made me shake my head or wonder just what the designer was thinking! I'll have to visit Cornerstone someday.
