We took out two grandchildren to the Asticou Gardens and had them pose around the beautiful flowers and shrubs. As teenagers you might expect that they would object, but they loved it and to this day cherish the summer pictures in Arcadia.

This is truly a beautiful garden to visit, but especially in June, when the azaleas are in full bloom.
