DAY 256

Central Gardens began its life as a neighborhood at the end of the nineteenth century when Robert Brinkley Snowden decided to build subdivisions on his family land. Trolley lines were opening that would allow residents of this new suburb to easily commute downtown for work. In 1896, Snowden built Ashlar Hall on Central Avenue for himself and in the ensuing years the area quickly filled with beautiful homes.

Each September, the Central Gardens Neighborhood Association hosts a one day home tour featuring open houses that allow glimpses into these historic gems. According to John Beifuss in the Commercial Appeal, this year, with COVID restrictions in place, "the perambulation-with-a-purpose has been re-imagined as the ‘Home Tour Detour,’ a self-guided, cellphone-assisted walking tour that eliminates the in-home visits that highlighted past meanderings but greatly expands the number of featured houses from about a half-dozen to close to 100, in what organizers describe as a ‘virtual retrospective’ of the historic Midtown neighborhood's notable residences."

What better way to spend a fall afternoon than exploring Central Gardens? It truly is a treasure filled with history and glorious architectural variety.

Tomorrow through September27. Visit the centralgardens.org web site for complete details. Enjoy!

A glorious beautification project by a garden club

A glorious beautification project by a garden club member!! Her corner of S.Cox and Evelyn has a gorgeous planting of flowers for pollinators and even a tiny little urban find and seek garden around the fire hydrant where little items are placed by her and the kids around the neighborhood! I had never heard of a “hell strip” until I moved to here. It is the usually forgotten little strip of grass or dirt between the side walk and the curb. They really can really be planted to inspire beauty and fun!
