There are a few, but when I've gone they've always been thinly veiled advertising for landscapers rather than citizen efforts or explorations in interesting plant choices. I'm having to just cold call folks and say, "Hey, I heard you have a lovely garden. Do you mind if I come and see it?" <em>Susan, that's great that you can do that. I wish I wasn't so shy - I'm stuck peering over fences when I'm out and about with the dog. -kris</em> Not really.

Not made it to Red Butte here yet. I'm also trying to get in to some private gardens this year, so public garden trips may be scaled back a bit. <em>Susan, I love getting peeks into private gardens too. There are lots of charity-based organized tours around here all summer long - out there too? -kris</em> Been too busy doing field trips. Not made it to Red Butte here yet.

Susan, I love getting peeks into private gardens too. There are lots of charity-based organized tours around here all summer long – out there too? -kris

Astounded that there is so much see so early in the season. Mouth-watering to anticipate the next act! <em>Ginny, It's always so great to see you!
