Description: "Walk through the Gardens of Georgetown -- through the vine covered gates, down the moss laden paths, around the foundations and pools, beneath the river birches and effervescent crape myrtles. Follow the walkways, feel the dappled light, smell the sweet box. Urban treasures all, the thirty-eight gardens that appear in this book tell the story that is Georgetown. Free spirited, formal, inspired, fanciful, intimate and grand -- always changing, adapting, evolving with the seasons, they reflect, as Edith Schafer says in her narrative, "our ecumenical, eclectic, all embracing selves." Their infinite variety draws us in, their stature and beauty urge us to stay. They are Georgetown, gardens of depth and delight. Enjoy your walk down these exquisite garden paths. -- Lee Harrison Child."--
