A Garden Tour

/

Friends I never tire of praising the wonderful things Instagram has brought into my life. Beauty, Experiences and Friends and in June all these came together in A Garden Tour. I had the loveliest afternoon with my sister and friends enjoying seven gardens in Cranford, NJ to benefit the Crane-Phillips House Museum Garden.

The Tour was organized by Interior Designer Jennifer Dengel here she is with her daughter managing the sale of greenery from Atlock Farm. You’ll spy me chatting with some never before met in person Instagram friends!

The gardens were of homes - so while incredibly beautiful and inspiring not in the least bit intimidating!

This home boasted what felt like a secret garden. You entered through a brick paved solarium - what a delight!

I do love trees and this massive specimen was gorgeous!

This lovely flagstone patio was so inviting - truly an outdoor room!

Here are my lovely ladies … my girlfriend and her mom on either side of my sister. We broke for lunch in the middle of the tour at The Cranford Hotel in downtown Cranford - what an adorable downtown with parking.

I adore the topiary I purchased that day - they were provided by Atlock Farm.

Here’s a list of some additional Gardens:

Til next time be well friends!

How About A Little Shopping -

Last week I shared the latest books I added to the Chalet collection. This week instead of my regular monthly interview - I thought I’d re-share some previous interviews - those with shops.

Do we ever need an excuse for a little shopping?

Friends I hope you enjoyed revisiting these wonderful hard-working souls or meeting them for the first time! Please make sure you click through and visit their shops. They all offer such unique items! Til next time be well.
