Quick Update & South Africa Video

   Well, I have been quite busy and as I feared, the blogging fell to the bottom of the list of priorities.  I graduate from the PG Program in the middle of December and then hopefully by spring I will be in a new job in public gardening -or possibly even an internship.  Of course, I have to get out all the applications first!
    In the meantime, I am here now to redeem myself with a video I made (with some editing help from my wife) from our study abroad trip to South Africa.  Hope to get back to some more blogging soon...    Enjoy! 



Well, it should say South Africa Study Abroad 2011, but who knows what happened to the other '1' ?!

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).

   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!

 Happy Gardening!!!
