This was the 25th anniversary of the South Church's Self-Guided Garden Tour, June 20-21, 2014. The weather was perfect, with temperatures in the lows 70s, low humidity, and mostly sunny.

This year the Tour consisted of 12 gardens in the area bounded by South Street on the south, Middle Street on the north, Lafayette Road on the west, and Elwyn Avenue on the east—with 6 gardens concentrated on Ash Street.

Photography is by Jim Cerny using a Sony SLT A57 digital camera with Sony 18-250mm lens. All images are copyrighted by Jim unless otherwise credited— talk to me if you want to use one or more images: (jimcerny2) at (gmail.com). Contact me if you want to purchase any image mounted and ready to frame as a 5 x 7 print.

I put a lot of emphasis on garden sculpture, objets d'art, and the performers. This year some flowers were mostly missing (lupine, iris, poppies), due to either the weather or this mix of gardens.
