The Dawson

garden has been featured on previous garden tours. Dianne Dawson is popular

as a garden designer whose talent blends flowers, perennials, and shrubs

into a delightful combination. Bare earth and open spaces are an invitation

for Dawson to add another splash of color to her pallete of plants. Those

who visit her garden will take home plenty of artistic ideas and garden

inspiration.

The Garcia

garden has evolved at the hands of an expert plantsman. Harvey Garcia

plants and maintains the landscapes of the city of Peachtree City. He

is a professional horticulturist as well as a Master Gardener volunteer.

He has a passion

for life, for people, and for plants. The selection of plants in his garden

attests to his zest for life and love of diversity. The Garcia garden

is filled with a variety of plants for gardens of the Southeast.

Master Gardenerss

will be available the day of the tour to identify plants and answer gardening

questions. Maps to the gardens will be provided for self-guided tours.

Advanced sales are $12 per ticket for 5 gardens or $3 per garden the day
