Around here, May is the month of flowers. The bravest ones, like daffodils and dandelions and snow drops, arrive in April while the chance of really cold weather and even snow is quite real. There’s a reason that local garden authorities caution about putting seeds and plants in Vermont’s soil until this time in May.

To celebrate, I’m going to take you for a walk around my gardens to enjoy what’s in bloom. Let’s step away from the world together, shall we?
