Hundreds of people enjoyed warm weather Sept. 18, as they participated in the Milton Garden Club’s 21st annual Garden Tour.

The event included six stops – 322, 326, 328 and 403 Union St., 21725 Halie Hannah Court, 207 Heronwood Lane and 31401 Melloy Court. There was a wide range of gardens and plants – shade gardens, water fountains, tropical trees, annuals, perennials, vegetable gardens and more.

In addition to exploring the gardens, participants were able to purchase assorted perennials, a variety of baked goods and an array of art-related items.
