Linda Spina and her committee arranged a wonderful spring garden tour on April 8th. The first stop was the garden of Anne and Henry Coke where the tour was led by their landscape designer, Carl Neels. As a special treat, Carl Neels showed how he landscaped his own home! After lunch at the Park Cities Hilton, the group visited the garden of Annette and Harold Simmons. The Simmons made their gardener available to answer questions. At ther final stop, Paul Fields, President and Director of Design at Lambert's and a member of the Dallas Arboretum Board, lead a tour of Gene and Jerry Jones' garden. |
