Absolutely fantastic...this every-other-year (biennial) tour needs to be put on your calendar for 2013 (when it comes again)! The day was punctuated by perfect weather combined with beautiful gems of gardens in the heart of downtown Orlando.
Vintage Truck parked at the Handy Pantry, "Garden Central" for the Tour
Vendors and Enthusiasts Lined the Street
The Handy Pantry - Open For Lunch
Gardens featured included historic, classic, contemporary and other styles. It is a tour that makes you happy to walk around such a beautiful city, here are some favorite scenes from the day:
Oak Lined Street in Downtown Orlando
Pink & Green Planters
An entryway beckons
Fresh breezes flow through the sunroom
Street Scene
Fetching Vegetable Garden in the front yard
Raised Bed System with Drip Irrigation
Every Garden needs a sense of humor
Ditto
Beautiful Patina
Vines + Fence = Love
The extra detail makes all the difference
Nothing says Spring like Hydrangeas!
Even if you didn't make it to the garden tour, you can still enjoy a lovely afternoon - stop by the Handy Pantry (corner of East Amelia and Cathcart), have a sandwich and then walk around the neighborhood. Many houses not included on the tour have lovely front yards that can only be appreciated while strolling about. It's a walk that makes one really appreciate "the City Beautiful"...
