Of all the gardens on the Atlanta Connoisseur’s Garden Tour I am glad this one was included. I have had some sleep, it is a new day and I still have two gardens to see. There is a misty drizzle, but that won’t detour us from this garden, especially since we can walk to it…

The Atlanta Connoisseur’s Garden Tour: The Hilltop Garden
It’s our last garden of the day and I hope I can make it up to this hilltop retreat! We have toured six gardens……have you been counting? I didn’t realize how hilly Atlanta would be and many of these gardens have been up, down and around, many acres! But, I’m taking a deep breath, now…
The Atlanta Connoisseur’s Garden Tour: Let’s Grill!

The Atlanta Connoisseurs Garden Tour: The Zen Wildlife Garden
This is the second garden we visited on the Atlanta Botanical Garden, “Connoisseur’s Tour.” I named it the Zen Wildlife Garden because you could hear the meditational music as soon as you got out of the car! The owners of this garden have been making additions to their gardens for over 25 years. This is…
The Atlanta Connoisseurs Garden Tour: The French Chateau Garden
This is the first garden in a series of nine that we visited for the Connoisseurs Tour, sponsored by the Atlanta Botanical Garden. We came to Atlanta just to see the Botanical Garden and to go on the Connoisseur Tour. This is just one event sponsored every year, there are many, many, more. To see…
