Yesterday I ventured into Atlanta for one of the annual garden tours.

This year the majority of gardens were small  urban spaces, well-appointed  for outdoor living.

Above, a comfortable chaise in shade for reading and listening to the sound of the waterfall (below).

Festoons of ivy grace an otherwise nondescript wall along a driveway.

Lushly planted window boxes.

And below, a private putting green!

I will share more highlights during the week.
