Mary Lou Heard Memorial Garden Tour

I decided to put my roses on this tour. I've always wanted to do it, and this year I just thought, goin' for it. It's a well-known annual tour that was started by a much-loved O.C. gardener. She has since passed away, but the tour lives on and continues to benefit various O.C. charities. This is my virtual tour, sans ice water and 'home-bought' Pepperidge Farm Cookies.
