I LOVE touring other people's gardens. maybe this site is just an excuse to tour strangers gardens. Hmmm?   You too? Then come enjoy lots of pretty & or interesting gardens. I've limited myself to southern gardens and primarily Northeast Louisiana Gardens. We learn so much in local gardens on what plants will look like grown or in relation to neighboring plants. We are inspired with all kinds of lovely design ideas. For even more design ideas if you wish to venture outside the south you can link to my private garden website for pictures I've taken or  been given of gardens worldwide by clicking on the above picture.

       A word about Garden Touring Etiquette. I bring this up because a friend of mine with a drop dead beautiful garden (which will be included later) no longer will put her garden on garden tours because of the bad manners of some of those visiting her garden. Her problem was that she would hear them making negative comments about her garden. A very hard thing for me to imagine what they didn't like, but the point is they where her guest that day. You do not go into someone's home or garden and "rag" on what they love most. IF you must, save it until you have left. Also, it's not nice to step into someone else's flower beds for a closer look. You don't know what is under the soil you might be crushing. And surely you know it's stealing to cut flowers or take cuttings without permission.
