Pocket Garden Tour 2016

This was the 27th annual South Church's Self-Guided Garden Tour, June 24-25, 2016.
The weather was excellent, with temperatures in the 70s, low humidity, mostly sunny, light easterly breeze.

This year the Tour consisted of 11 gardens in a big loop around the South Mill Pond.
Fewer flowers than usual, largely due to the garden designs, but also due to our moderate drought.

Photography is by Jim Cerny using a Sony SLT A57 digital camera with Sony 18-250mm lens.
