I had the great opportunity of traveling for work earlier last month; I flew to Georgia for a supplier assessment. During the last day, after all the meetings and tours, A coworker and I decided to spend the last hours before the flight back to SeaTac exploring a couple plantations in little Roswell. (NO, not that Roswell, that one's in the desert).The first stop was Smith plantation, see the sign...
This was a pretty modest plantation, and was blessed with a cozy garden. Unfortunately, being too early for the full tour, we moved on to the next one: Barrington Hall. After wandering through the fabulous gardens for a while, the doors opened up for the day's first tour. Unfortunately, cameras were not allowed inside the home, so all I have to share today are images from the outside. Nonetheless, I am sure you will be pleased!
I sweat, OOPS, I mean I sweaR, I could just watch those beautiful trees wave in the breeze ALL DAY LONG. Reminds me of the trees in Michigan.
Frankly, someone is a little sick of all this "lumberjack" vegetation we have here in the Seattle area. Ugh.
Georgia has beautiful trees. And I would consider living there. Seattle sucks. Too many smokers, too much coffee. (actually, just drove back from Seattle before posting this, so a little depressed/disappointed with my surroundings...when compared to the images in this post ;-)
Anyway, let's take a stroll through the garden!!
One of my favorite parts about this garden:
La Reine Rose, a very fragrant rose reminiscent of the hot pink roses we used to buy from street vendors in India....AHHH....you don't find these at American Florists. However, I do recall Harrod's department stores (London) would fly them in for Valentine's Day (from India...not from Roswell ;-)
I hope you enjoyed all my photos! I surely did :-D
