Spring is my favorite time of the year, so these are the images that I will share with you. After all, aren't we all dreaming of spring right now? Most of these were taken in early to mid April 2011, though a few are in late March. We are located on 3+ hilly landscaped acres in NW Georgia. Most of these pictures are taken in the vicinity of a small cabin located down behind our house. The cabin is named the Shady Rest, thus the name of our garden---Shady Rest Gardens, an AHS Display Garden since 2009. David and I have done most of the work, though we sometimes hire a high school student to help in the spring mainly. I am a retired school teacher and counselor. David retired last May after 40 years as a high school teacher and coach; however, he is continuing to teach part time at a local Christian school. Our garden will be on the AHS Region 5 Spring Tour this June and the 2015 AHS National Convention Tour.
