This month's theme for Gardening Gone Wild's Picture This photo contest is "Genius loci," which means the spirit of the place. Judge Andrea Jones has asked for photos of a favorite place. There's no place I'd rather be in May than sitting on the swing in the woodland garden here at Squirrelhaven. The exuberance of the wild plants spilling into the paths delights my eyes, while the scent of the Phlox divaricata pleases my nose. The swing provides a shady respite from the myriad chores of the spring garden. Why would I want to be anywhere else?
