Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden Walk

Today I took a lovely stroll through Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens with @pitzergirl and these are just a few of my favorites sights. Located in the back of the park is the Summerhouse shown which was built in the 1800s and was originally in the garden of Samuel Myers near Broad on Governor street. It was saved and relocated to Meadowbrook (first photograph) in 1900 by Mrs. Thomas Fox Jeffress and then rebuilt in 1969 in her memory. In the library is an assortment of wonderful exhibitions including:
