Summer fun for Sacred Chickens. We went on an expedition yesterday! Can we call it team building? We spent the entire morning wandering around the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, getting ideas for our own gardens, enjoying herb gardens, vegetables, lilies, woodlands, and moving rapidly from one ecosystem to the next in the conservatory. Jarad, of course, bought a book. We discovered that the heat and all the walking fried our brains so instead of a real post...here are some pictures of the garden!
