I can't believe it has been since February when I last posted. We have been extremely busy with garden construction this spring and 12" of snow in late April did not help our already packed schedule.
Our podcasts have been doing very well in itunes(TM) and that has kept us busy producing these biweekly episodes. We are in the progress of upgrading to a Macbook Pro so we can produce both audio and video podcasts....with maybe a little background music and the ease of transferring our digital interviews to our podcasts. If you do not have itunes you can download directlty through this link.
This past weekend we were able to tour the outstanding Anderson's Japanese Gardens in Rockford, Illinois and have a couple of great conversations with Hoichi Kurisu who designed and built the gardens for Mr and Mrs. Anderson.
This garden has evolved from 1978 to it's current 12 acre site with the completion of an outstanding visitors center which includes a corporate meeting facility, year 'round restaurant, extensive gift shop, volunteers break and education room all of which is enveloped in this beautiful work of Japanese architecture.
Our upcoming podcasts will include our extensive conversations with Hoichi Kurisu who designed and built the garden and Tim Gruner who has been the Horticultural Manager for 18 years.
Cheryl and I left the garden both inspired and humbled by the mastery of Hoichi and his crew in the development of this garden.
