Garden tours abloom: Three you shouldn't miss
2000
Overview
Southerners are renowned for their hospitality and pride of place. That's evident when spring ushers in the garden tour season. Folks welcome strangers --- sometimes by the hundreds --- into their homes to sample the local hospitality and history. Besides those highlighted here, see our complete listing of Southern garden shows on Page F4. An author and homespun philosopher, [Emily] Whaley welcomed visitors to share her beloved back yard in person and through the pages of her 1997 book, \"Mrs. Whaley and Her Charleston Garden\" (Fireside, $12). Whaley died in 1998 at age 86, and planned renovations of the house took the garden off this year's tour --- for a while. Just this week, festival coordinator Leigh Handel announced that renovations had been postponed and the garden will be on the Glorious Gardens Tour. \"Mrs. Whaley's garden is everyone's favorite,\" she said, \"so this is a wonderful surprise for festivalgoers.\" The 53rd festival includes walking tours with local guides of the historic district (there are 11 afternoon or evening candlelight tours of homes and gardens, with eight-10 houses on each), strolls through public and private gardens with landscaping experts and oyster roasts at historic Drayton Hall Plantation.
