Bloom Time

By: Daina Savage | No Comments

If it’s spring, it must be garden tour season, a must for voyeurs and avid green thumbs alike. Where else can you view tropical poolscapes perched near school athletic fields, shady green havens tucked amid otherwise nondescript housing developments, or the latest exotic plant offerings in otherwise traditional settings.
