Not that there aren't any nice gardens here, just not many that you can go tour. <br />I was at Biltmore one time but unfortunately it was a dreary rainy day, so we didn't get to see the gardens.<br />Thanks for sharing.Serenity Covehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378941749467418225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-46377147599652271132012-06-20T21:04:36.748-05:002012-06-20T21:04:36.748-05:00Thank you Skeeter for another fantastic tour.

They eat the wild stuff like the Showy Orchis.<br /><br />The old chimney is also home to a geocache that people find and log in to. I was told the house there burned down Christopher C.

That view from the porch was stunning. I also thought both houses were really neat. The meadow was one of my favorite places in the garden.
