Brook. June is a retired landscape designer, author and speaker. Her garden starts in the parking area and covers every part of her property. From the driveway our eyes followed the line of the driveway to an arbor covered with Lady Banks roses. Gravel pathways meander throughout the property and lead to special features such as a small \u00a0water feature, a bench to enjoy the garden, or the potting shed. There was even a muscadine arbor and two raised vegetable beds. June has included many native plants such a blood root, sweet shrub, partridge berry, Oak Leaf Hydrangea, and May apples. We could tell that she is a plant lover from the variety of plants she has included, many that are unusual cultivars. We enjoyed hearing her say that she had moved plants because they did not do well where she first planted them&#8211;seems that all gardeners do that! She also told us of her garden challenges that included the recent loss of a large shade tree. She was in the process of recreating that area of the garden. The shade was gone and and many plants were damaged. We really enjoyed our visit with June Mays and her garden. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Photos and article by Trisha Williams<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9694.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-16411\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9694-415x350.jpg\" alt=\"Master Gardeners tour garden\" width=\"415\" height=\"350\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9695.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-16412\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9695-263x350.jpg\" alt=\"Master Gardeners tour garden \" width=\"263\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9695-263x350.jpg 263w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9695-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9695-207x275.jpg 207w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9695-250x333.jpg 250w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9695.jpg 453w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9697.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-16413\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9697-339x350.jpg\" alt=\"Master Gardeners tour garden \" width=\"339\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9697-339x350.jpg 339w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9697-145x150.jpg 145w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9697-266x275.jpg 266w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9697-250x258.jpg 250w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9697.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9698.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-16414\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9698-305x350.jpg\" alt=\"Master Gardeners tour garden \" width=\"305\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9698-305x350.jpg 305w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9698-131x150.jpg 131w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9698-240x275.jpg 240w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9698-250x286.jpg 250w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/04\/IMG_9698.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 305px) 100vw, 305px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In early April Chilton County Master Gardeners had the pleasure of a guided tour of June Mays&#8217; garden in Mt.
