Have you ever taken a day, a whole day to spend your moments touring some lovely gardens?
Well...come along and be blessed with me!
Such.A.Lovely.Day!!!
It takes a special person to organize such a day...
and she planned an "over-the-top" day!!
Thank you Shannon!!
She had us start early...and this is the garden we "Tip-Toed" thru first!!
I was appalled that this garden is only Thirty minutes from my home...and I had never been! How many times I have driven by...just needed to stop and check it out!
Soooo thankful to discover the beauty found here...and the time to enjoy it on this day!

Can it be that most of the world has forgotten how to stroll thru a beautiful garden??
It is balm to my soul for sure!
Hope you enjoy your stroll...
We loved this area...The Tea Garden!
So.Delightful!
And these are my sweet "garden tour friends"!
Really, they are like family...we go way back!:)
My daughter and dear daughter~in~law were not able to make it at the last moment...but we are already planning another "garden day"...so they can get in on the next one hopefully!
The lush green was such a delight...
we have had so many warm days...
they have worked hard to have it still so green!
Beautiful borders...loved the warm and then cool color schemes!
Delightful little garden gate to make you feel welcome!
Loved, loved, loved all the boxwood hedges!
Oh...the lovely roses!
And the gorgeous hydrangeas!!
~~~
All the little paths and steps were enchanting to follow!
We truly felt like we were being beckoned to "come along"!
We found ourselves in the "Scroll Garden"...
the boxwoods outdid themselves in this garden!
Quaint little corners, lovely old windows...
and the home on the estate is so grand and beautiful!

Such a reminder to take the time to enjoy the beauty all around us!
And especially those gigantic trees!
Perfect spot for some fun pictures!
And then this darling little path to The Secret Garden!

Maybe it is courage that is needed to slow our fast~paced lives down...
to live our moments!
Hope you can enjoy a garden or two soon also!
More garden tour to come...:)

one to gardening:
it is the closet one can come to being present at creation."
