The Garden Lady

Garden Tour 2006
The 3RD Annual Gardens and Gazebos Tour, sponsored by the Soroptimists International of Schenectady County was held today, June 17, 2006 and despite rain in the morning appeared to be a success.

Every year, I am astonished at the sheer amount of work that goes into these gardens, and have a great deal of admiration for the gardeners who had the dream and the foresight (and the hard work) to create such beautiful spaces. The pictures below will link you to each page. Enjoy your trip through these magnificent gardens, and I thank the participants for opening their spaces up for such a good cause.
