Garden walk day

My husband and I found something that we like to do together, go on garden walks sponsored by the Garden Conservancy. About a month ago we went to some gardens very close to out neighborhood. Today the Garden Conservancy had 4 private and 1 public garden open to the public in the north shore neighborhoods Chicago suburbs. We visited some very elaborate gardens ( the houses were elaborate too) They were so great to look at and to see what I can do in my gardens, though these gardens all had lots of hired help to make them look that good, I could look and steal an idea.
this photo is of a public garden (where we got info and directions to others} called Elawa farm garden. photo taken up on a hill.
It was a beautiful and refreshing day here. Perfect.
