I’ll head out in a bit to see what is blooming in my garden, thinking about Elizabeth Lawrence, and her quote that inspired bloom day, “We can have blooms nearly every month of the year.” I received an email the other day letting me know that Elizabeth Lawrence’s garden and five other gardens will be open for The Garden Conservancy
