This place was listed in "National Geographic Guide to America's Public Gardens." A book I've had for 20+ years. As we travel, I'll check this book, as well as "Eccentric America" for places to add to my travel experience. This garden (and associated gallery) did NOT disappoint. And actually the gallery inspired me to take a drawing class and begin sketch journalling, like the displayed Memphis Urban Sketchers journals. The gardens (Spring time!) were wonderful. The cafe food was healthy and tasty. Some AMAZING artwork from lesser known artists to MANY world-renowned artists!!!

My lil new friend explored my sunglasses while I rested in the garden.

Thank you, Vicki Less and others, for your sketch journal inspiration.
