Hello!

   Hello!  My name is Tim Snyder and I have been gardening, and interested in gardening from the age of 10.  Now 33, I am creating this blog as a garden journal and photo (& possibly video) portfolio.  This is the first blog I have done and hope to get some good content up soon!  (Believe me, I have no shortage of photos!)  I have previously worked under accomplished Japanese gardener, Hiroshi Makita for a number of years, among other jobs, and am currently very fortunate to be a Professional Gardener Student at the internationally recognized Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pa (USA).

Timothy Snyder - Me in a tree

   I will share some of my early garden projects up to my most recent, which are a personal garden at Longwood Gardens (not public) and a Student Exhibition Garden (which I developed with my classmate Emily Mox) within the public display -which is the 2nd year it's ever been done!  I am very excited to have the opportunity to have both gardens seen by the attendees of this years' APGA (American Public Garden Society) as I hope to move into a career in public horticulture.  I have a deep passion for design as well as the hands-on aspects of creating a garden and its development over time.  I love making small spaces feel bigger and finding ways to have the garden be an engaging experience.  I also am in love with rocks and rock setting! 

   Thank you for your interest in my blog and I can't wait to post some pictures and thoughts!
Please join my blog to keep up with current posts! 
 Happy Gardening!!!
