ReplyDeleteYou really captured the gardens! I tweeted this as they follow me on Twitter.
ReplyDeleteYou know Phillip, I surely wish we had done these gardens also. We would love to hear in one of your posts your complete itinerary. This garden and others we just need to go back and see. Thanks so much for being the eyes for us to see such beauty....
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous place. I can see how you could spend so much time here. Seeing these photos makes me want to go there too. Good shot of you by the gazebo. Way to go Michael.
ReplyDeleteyou would love the camellia area when it is in bloom, stunning! Glad you didn't skip the garden, its one of my favorites. I don't suppose you stopped at the chapel hill botanical garden?
ReplyDeleteAmazing... glorious.... and a great post! L
ReplyDeleteThank you Phillip! Your post brought back good memories of our last year trip to NC. I loved that garden! The white garden was my favorite. Your pictures are great!!!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you decided to make the visit. I lived nearby for several years, when I was a divorced, single mom, with limited funds. The Duke Gardens were my "soul trip." Your photos captured the beauty perfectly.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are inspiring. I love these gardens - one of my sisters got married there in 1984, and this brings back good memories of that day.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking photos! Can only imagine what it was like to stroll this garden. So nice...
ReplyDeleteSue Ellen, you should definitely visit!
ReplyDeleteThank you Freda, Rose Petals and Lisa!
Jen, no I didn't see that one but I didn't really know about it. Is it nice?
Phillip this is really nice! Thaks so much for sharing all these gardens, as I wil not be able to tour any for awhile. Work just gets in the way for my real life sometimes! Looking at your blog is a mini-staycation for me! You do take very nice pictures, also. Carol
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Phillip. We just don't have the space to do all we want to do, do we? If whe did who would care for it? LOL It's a beautiful garden...
ReplyDeleteWe live in N. Durham county and visit Duke Gardens about once a month. It changes all the time. The terraces are spectacular around Easter with the flower trees; tulips, and the like.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This is definitely one to add to the list of must-see gardens.
ReplyDeletePhillip,
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, you really caught a great day for photos in the gardens. Wish I'd known you were visiting we could have hooked up.
