Spend a lovely day in the garden — made all the lovelier by being a garden you don’t have to water or weed. This week, John Fladd takes a look at some of the garden tours and public gardens that allow you to enjoy the flora of the season without having to put on any gardening gloves. Above and on the cover, a view of the gardens at Petals in the Pines. Courtesy photo.
