April 29: Garden Tour, led by the Historic Decatur Association
The public is invited to a peak into some of the residents’ private gardens. The tour begins at Westminster Presbyterian Church, located at 801 Jackson St, SE.
We had a large crowd for the Garden Walking tour in Decatur.

From 11-3PM, we tour 9 personal gardens. 3 Gardens were on Sherman St., 2 on Gordon Dr, 1 on Jackson St., and 1 on Cherry Street. 1 on Line St. and 1 on Oak St. There was someone at each location to greet us and tell us about their garden.

| On the first garden tour, we saw these beautiful red lilies. |

 |
| This garden was like having a forest in your backyard. There was a Bird Feeder, a greenhouse, walkways and so much more. |
 |
| There was a story about how this statue came to this garden but I don't remember. |
After the Garden tour, we enjoyed a nice lunch at Mellow Mushroom in Decatur. We ordered a small Maui Wowie on Stone Ground Crust Pizza. It was delicious.
