Mr Ashton with his contribution for the Garden Glow at Ladew last night. Ashton Design did graphics for the Butterfly House ... thus a flutterby faced pumpkin was alight and part of the paths and fields filled with glowing gords and many lit enchanting things. I love the “creatures of the night” room with its varied bugs and esp. the tiny owl, screech I think, not something you get to see, thought heard one the other night, amazing trill. Kudos to David and the designers at AD for their contribution to a great event (believe they created event logo too)... — feeling festive at Ladew Topiary Gardens.
