Driving around the lake, you glimpse this gorgeous side garden along someone’s home and KNOW you just HAVE to have a tour. As this is a lakeside community, we didn’t think twice about ringing the front door bell and asking for a tour. Our gracious tour guide (homeowner) Frank showed us his southern hospitality (originally from Texas) with a guided tour…
The front yard matches the house in red, white & blue…
A victorian birdhouse complete with tin roof.
Like Alice in Wonderful, through the arch into the white side garden…
and be transported into a whole world of beautiful flowers, winding paths and surprises at every turn.
We’ve made a complete circle to the back patio area. It’s hard to believe this is not a professionally landscaped property, just lovingly tended to, and the property is less than 1/2 acre in size. I took lots of pictures of the statuary, wooden bells and birdcages hanging from tree limbs and the little surprises hidden among the plants. My favorite was this glass prism…
Hope you enjoyed the garden tour! Stop back again for a tour of the tea house and a boat ride around the lake!
Oh what a lovely tour. The garden is Edenic and your pictures are excellent. (Not sure that is a word). I love all the yard art too. Looking forward to the rest.

Gorgeous! I really love the white garden and that birdhouse! The fire pit has me thinking of revamping ours. Thanks for the tour Sandy!
