Welcome back! Maybe it comes from years of parenting school age kids but I have always felt that a “New Year” of sorts, starts each fall. A fresh start, a clean slate, a chance to improve, it all seems within reach.

Our speakers will be Ryan McEnaney and plant breeder, David Roberts from Bailey Nurseries, their presentation will be “Growing Innovation: The Pathway to New Hydrangea Introductions.”

We have five beautiful gardens for your touring pleasure in the Atlanta neighborhoods of Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Buckhead and Inman Park.

Our speaker will be horticulturalist and gardening columnist, Carol Reese, whose topic will be "How Does Your Garden Glow?"

Happy Spring! As I write this in mid-March, temperatures are more reminiscent of winter, but a glance at the calendar clearly shows the vernal equinox happening next week and boy, am I ready!
