Today, we are asking the Gardens community to help us identify details of some of our photos.  We have quite few images for which we know the date, the name of the place and/or the name of the event, but oftentimes we know nothing about individual the people depicted.  Many of us have visited, volunteered, and read extensively about the Gardens, while others have rich personal and family connections that go back in time.   Some of us know all the major historical themes, while others hold only small pieces of trivia about individual gardens, groups, people, and events.  But working together, we can answer questions that are both big and small.  Please click on the title or the “more” button to see the images and use the comments feature below to share your thoughts, insights and answers.
