This gallery is dedicated to my mother and our neighborhood gardeners, especially the gardeners at LaGuardia Place Community Gardens - all great lovers of nature, plants, flowers and fruit. They inspired my interest in taking and displaying these photographs. I am deeply grateful for their kind deeds and generous spirit.

I'm an amateur naturalist so I appreciate corrections and help in identifying the subjects in these photos. All constructive comments are welcome.


I recommend you use the "Medium or Large" viewing format in full screen display mode for scanning the galleries and the "original size" format to see details in each photo.
