The gardens at Alta Vista have been 4 years in the making...today is the day where it all pays off. The Lake Geneva Garden Club will be touring 5 beautiful homes along the shores of Lake Geneva. Alta Vista is the 3rd stop on the tour and it's timeless beauty has been lovingly restored over the years, including the addition of the upper and lower front lawn gardens. Heide Bain, Alta Vista gardener, details the annuals used to fill in and Roy discusses a few of his favorite plant patterns.
