Reunion 1999: The Botanical Gardens, Saturday, June 12, Saturday, June 12

For the early risers (okay, not so early—we met at 10:00) on Saturday morning, June 12, Ann Jay Berry led a tour first of the extensive gardens at her house and then at the Botanical Gardens and Arboretum, where she is a volunteer and tour guide. We got a wonderful introduction to the many parts of that beautiful site, from the “ROY Garden” (red, orange, yellow) to the “Junk Garden.” We all had a great time wandering about, chatting about old times, and absorbing some of Ann's enthusiasm for and joy in gardening, which were almost as impressive as the gardens themselves.

Though no pictures could do the garden justice, here are three pictures that show who was there and give a hint of what the morning was like. (Click on any thumbnail to see a larger version in a new window.)
