Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens

[Gary R. Smith]

My wife and I visited the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens this morning near Woodland, Washington.


My mom loved lilacs and we had a bush in our yard back in New Jersey (many years ago).


There were a few roses although it seems that we missed peak blooms.


Hulda lived into her 90's and restored the gardens following a severe flooding when she was in her 80's.

I have shared all the shots I edited here.
Photos taken with Panasonic GX9.

Beautiful collection of true lilacs and a warming story of someone achieving much in the golden years. Really fond of the composition you wrapped the series up with Gary, it’s inviting.

My mom loved lilacs.
