The Garden Lady

Garden Tour 2007
The Annual Gardens and Gazebos Tour, sponsored by the Soroptimists International of Schenectady County was held on June 16, 2007. The sunny sky and warm weather brought out the garden enthusiasts in droves!

This year, as every year, the gardens were just incredible. From a pond-shaped pool to a "stone stream", roses to ornamental grasses the creativity and diversity provided something for everyone. Each garden owner prepares well in advance for this day and the hard work shows. Many thanks to the gardeners who ARE the heart of the event! It was difficult selecting just which pictures I wanted, each garden had so many wonderful features.

Enjoy this virtual tour, and as last year each garden may be accessed from their respective icon below. Gardens are listed in the order in which they were listed on the program.
