Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Matanzas River, the Washington Oaks Gardens were established by Louise and Owen Young. Here along the Matanzas River they built a winter retirement home in 1936, all surrounded by beautiful gardens. In 1965, the Young family donated most of the Flagler County property to the State of Florida. Garden pathways and reflecting pools are lined with native and exotic species, from azaleas and camellias to the tropical bird of paradise, all shaded by a 200 to 300 year old picturesque live oak hammock. Being a descendant of George Washington and these massive live oaks helped inspired the name.

Born in western Pennsylvania, Ben quickly discovered that his parents were passionate about travel, photography, oil painting and wildlife. Being the youngest member of his family, he grew up exploring much of the eastern half of the United States at an early age with his older brothers. Ben's photography is about that part of his youth, echoing that same passion that his parents had of the Great Outdoors. Visit
