Duke Gardens In Raleigh, N. C. In Pictures

DSC_3323At the end of the second day at the recent Garden Writers Association’s annual symposium, the daily garden tour and dinner was held in the beautiful Duke Gardens adjacent to the Duke University campus. The gardens were extremely peaceful and most beautiful. I didn’t even get to see all of the garden areas since dinner and free flowing booze started calling.
Some students were hanging out studying and relaxing, even with over 660 garden writers walking and mulling all about. Gardens like Duke Gardens is one of the reasons I keep going to the GWA gatherings—getting to see first hand the beauty of the private and public gardens in another part of the country.
This group of pictures don’t do the gardens justice, so if and when you are in the Raleigh, N. C. area, you should check it out.
