This next set of pictures of the Wills Perennial Garden is probably my favorite garden. I think it's because it is located up on a hill overlooking the gorgeous hills that surround the mansion and the ponds of the Robinson Family Water Garden. I also love the steep limestone rock wall that serves as a backdrop to this full sun perennial garden.
The day I was there, there was a storm on its way so it was very windy. You will see that many of the grasses where blowing in the breeze. Delightful!
