May 21, 2012 by Sandra Jonas CONNOISSEURS GARDEN TOUR 2 To continue the garden tour… all were meticulously appointed… lushly planted pots… with a Belgian Fence as background, below… a private putting green that can double as a Bocce Court! The best treatment for a driveway and large parking court… antique cobbles in asphalt… Beautiful side door… A Mediterranean style home deserves a Mediterranean style courtyard, below. Then there was THE GARDENER…. I’m told he never stops working nor has he ever asked for a raise! Below, the no maintenance garden… Interesting treatment for steps…. and finally one of my favorite gardens, below… There is a marvelous screened porch…. overlooking a stunning English Knot garden. Admittedly, I did not get to all the gardens. There were eleven gardens on the two-day tour and I saw only nine, in one day. I strongly suggest this annual tour held on Mother’s Day weekend to benefit The Atlanta Botanical Garden. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Thanks so much for the wonderful photos of the garden tour. This is the first one I’ve missed in MANY years. Reply
Sandra, Thank you for posting these for us to enjoy! Especially, those of us who sacrifice design for plant collecting. 😉 Reply
