Welcome to the very first Fine Gardening Garden Photo of the Day! Every weekday we’ll post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green.

Sign up to get it in your mailbox, so you’ll always remember to take a look. We look forward to sharing our garden travels with you.

If you think you have a photo that we should share on the Garden Photo of the day, email us! Send hi-res images to [email protected]. We’ll only respond if we plan to use your photo.

The garden in today’s photo was designed by Tom Nelson and Randy Bolin in Oakland, California.
