It’s easy when you live somewhere to overlook the beauty that’s right in your backyard.  I always think back to when I moved to Philadelphia for a few years.  One of the things I wanted to see was the Liberty Bell.  I asked a friend who had lived in Philly her entire life to go with me one day.  She told me she had never seen the Liberty Bell.  I was dumbfounded. If you’re not familiar, the Liberty Bell is literally right in the middle of the city.  I would’ve thought that just dumb luck would’ve brought her by the bell at one point.  But I guess not.

I’ve lived in Baltimore now for nearly 17 years.  I like to think that I’ve gotten around to see a lot of the big spots, but I know there are still plenty of places I haven’t gone.  There’s this mental thing with me where I think about visiting one but then say, “nah I’ll see it next time.”  Then it just keeps getting pushed off.

Today’s conversation is about one of those places.  I’ve driven by Ladew Topiary Gardens so many times.  Each time I say to myself, “we need to come check this place out.”  Then one thing leads to another and we never do.  After having this chat, I’m feeling very embarrassed for not visiting earlier.

I’m speaking with Emily Emerick.  She’s the Executive Director for Ladew Topiary Gardens.  She has been there for a long time and knows the gardens inside and out.  This was a fascinating conversation.  I’m definitely planning on making a visit here soon.  I hope you’ll consider it too.  Please enjoy our chat about Ladew Topiary Gardens.
