PJCBG Garden Cam

Live Web cam

Our Web cams are now working again, after two months of behind-the-scenes investigations into a complex communications problem.  We hope you enjoy this view of the Pattern Garden in its winter state.  Over 26,000 bulbs have been planted, all donated by our friends at http://www.brentandbeckysbulbs.com/.  These bulbs will commence growth as soon as Old Man Winter releases his icy grip.  Stay tuned for more excitement.  (Updated 19 February 2010)
