Pocket Garden Tour 2017

This was the 28th annual South Church's Self-Guided Garden Tour, June 23-24, 2017.
The weather was overcast and very humid on Saturday morning, with a few sprinkles, as a front passed through mid-day.

This year the Tour consisted of 11 gardens in a trapezoid bounded by Middle Street and Islington Street.
Fewer flowers than usual, missing perennials such as poppies, lupine, lilies, and foxglove.
Some interesting planters.
I gave special attention to sculpture and objets d'arte.

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