An estimated 6500 people visited the Village Green over the 3 day event.

Puppies, parents and feisty infants strolled and ran amuck.

Perfect weather spelled a hugely successful event.

Catapult your Landscape into the Oasis of your Dreams!

There comes a time, rare and sweet, when your friends want to honor something you’ve done.

On Wed, Oct 24 at 4 pm at the Atlanta History Center’s McElreath Hall, the Cherokee Garden Library is hosting a fabulous, fashionable- funky and free event designed to rock your garden’s socks.  http://www.atlantahistorycenter.com/cms/Lectures+/494.html

You know, I’m kinda like a box turtle in the shrubs, munching and moseying my way thru life, following the trail less trodden and mostly undefined.

With my heart doing the navigation instead of my head, I wandered into a zone called environmental transformation, and created a book called Lifelong Landscape Design: Environments of Health and Longevity. Just say’n, cuz I’m the speaker.

Of course, the publisher cut the title down to 3 words, but the intent is clear

Do you want a property that will nourish your body and soul for the rest of your life?

Well, hang on to your hat, grandma and grandpa, because I’ve got the secret formula.

Please bring your mother, father, cousin Sarah and Uncle James, assorted children & friends to this wonderful event.Yvonne Wade and Virginia Almand are co-chairs and Adelaie Burton is the design director… this is a most hip, fun, informative MUST BE THERE Happening!
