On Sunday, September 9, visitors were again able to tour Twin Silo Farm, a private home in Gardenville, to benefit the Bucks Beautiful Bulbs for Bucks Program. Bucks Beautiful is a 501(c)(3) non-profit program of the Central Bucks Chamber of Commerce, its Bulbs forBucks program is dedicated to beautifying Bucks County with spring daffodils and has a goal of planting 1 million daffodils bulbs throughout the county.

The 100-acre farm has undergone a renovation after an addition to the home. The award winning 50-acre manicured gardens consist of a series of formal garden rooms; a two-acre pond graced by white swans, beautiful sculptures and dozens of magnificent containers brimming with flowers and plants. This unique property is designed to inspire an atmosphere of tranquility and to allow one to imagine them-selves transported to other countries around the world.

It occurs to me I never did provide an answer the the Season of Change entry I posted November 8, 2011. So to answer any unresolved questions here is my "official" statement as it reads on my Linked In profile:

"Recently I have made the transition from business owner and landscape design professional to associate editor of a lifestyle publication. What may seem from the outside to be an abrupt career change, has long been a goal which I have been working towards. Years of writing experience have provided me with the incredible opportunity to pursue a career in editing. While I am fully dedicated to this newest career, I maintain a presence in the field of horticulture and design, seeking opportunities to combine my talents: writing about outdoor living, gardening, decor, design and contracting. I continue to actively promote and organize community gardens, chair the CBCC Bucks Beautiful Garden and Home Show, design for and operate Martin Shaw, LLC all while being a part of the amazing team behind Suburban Life Magazine. To me it is the culmination of two dreams realized.

Specialties

Martin Shaw, LLC remains a source for creative landscape design and quality installation overseen by a professional with vast knowledge and experience which I am proud to own and manage. At the same time Suburban Life Magazine has become the greater Philadelphia areas' largest lifestyle publication. I look forward to being involved with the expansion of its coverage and continually improving quality of content."
