Gardens of Giverny

"Some keep the Sabbath going to Church

I keep it staying at Home

With a Bobolink for a Chorister

And an Orchid for a Dome."

- Emily Dickinson

Yesterday, Joann and I toured the 40th Annual Home Decorators' Show House and Gardens sponsored by the Atlanta Symphony. After the tour, we attended a champagne reception hosted by the talented Ed Castro of Ed Castro Landscape. Living in Atlanta, we are very fortunate to have over a dozen inspiring show homes (designed by some of the best designers in the SouthEast), to tour throughout the year.  This is the first show home I've ever toured where the beauty of the gardens and the talent of the landscape architects were the absolute highlight of the home.

Boxwoods Gardens & Gifts designed a spectacular greenhouse that I wanted to stay in all night!

Check out the glittery purple stones between the tiles ( I thought they were tiny flower petals at first).

And I thought my yard looked good.... geeeeeezzzz......
