Soroptimist's description: This is an exceptional lawn free backyard space. It is a naturalistic setting that is designed around a water feature that takes into account the geography of the area and is landscaped with deer-proof plantings. An outdoor kitchen is perfect for summer entertaining. Warrington Garden, Medford. Soroptimist's description: When you arrive you will notice a stone wall surrounding the front garden. A unique feature of the side garden is a wooden bench built around a grand old oak tree. It is a perfect place to spend a restful afternoon reading a good book. Be sure to take a walk through the vine-clad arbor. Home of John and Deborah Clark, Medford. Soroptimist's description: This is a great garden to visit if you like gardening with edibles. The owners, who have been on our tour in the past, have redesigned their garden and have incorporated “vege-scaping." You will find edibles tucked in with established plantings. Look closely to find peas, beans and potatoes “hidden” in the yard. Don’t forget to visit the backyard for a serene time spent by the koi pond. Home of Gail and Skip Stokes, Jacksonville. Soroptimist's description: When you enter this backyard you will find it to be a very relaxing natural setting, with rocks used to highlight each area. You will see several water features and a rock-lined meandering dry creek bed. This is a lawn-free space with winding gravel paths that highlight the various plantings. A canopy of mature trees is an inviting haven for birds.
