I hope the arrival of summertime (that is hot, humid weather) has not got you shunning the great outdoors. This weekend you have two fabulous opportunities to get outside and see beautiful private gardens and a spectacular collection of daylilies. The Garden's annual private garden tour has a fabulous lineup of stunning gardens in the historic district of downtown and in the unique mountaintop development of the Ledges. See roses, hydrangeas, flowering perennials and amazing drifts of annuals all framed by hollies, boxwood and magnolias.
Top off your tour of gardens with a trip to the Botanical Garden to see the incredible collection of daylilies in full bloom. Over 800 cultivars in a myriad of size, shape and color will dazzle you as they flourish in the hot sun with very little care - daylilies are a great low maintenance plant for all of us in the Tennessee Valley. Here's to a fabulous weekend of seeing beautiful gardens where you can find wonderful ideas for adding to your own landscape.
