Take a Look at June 2013

“Will you take a look at June 2013!!!”

This June, the many garden rooms in the Gardens at Waters East finally started to “strut their stuff” and show their beauty. It has been a long cold Winter and a long cool Spring but June proved worth the wait. Here are never before seen photos taken during this month of June -- the sights on the property of GAWE. Lots of action from weather fronts, and lots of color from sun loving perennial.
