Pocket Garden Tour 2021

This was the 32nd annual South Church's Self-Guided Garden Tour, June 25-26, 2021.
It was overcast and increasingly warm and humid.

This year the tour consisted of 15 gardens in the South End neighborhood, centered on Strawbery Banke,
a recurring and changing venue every few years.

The gardens are presented here in numbered order, but I walked them in counterclockwise order as:
1, 12, 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15, 5.
And I've included many interesting objects between gardens!
