Southern Lady May/June 2016

Our beautiful South is coming up roses—and hydrangeas and zinnias and cascades of daylilies. These pleasantly warm days are best spent outside enjoying the show and reveling in the inspiration that is bursting forth all around, and in this outdoor living issue of Southern Lady, we celebrate this scene. Experience nature’s splendor with a variety of verdant garden tours and pages filled with a multitude of beautiful blossoms. You’ll find a special focus on roses with innovative varieties and creative arrangements, as well as a Mother’s Day luncheon centered around the iconic bloom. Explore Jackson, the next stop in our “Capital Cities” travel series, and spend a weekend away basking in the beauty of Hilton Head. And your taste buds won’t be disappointed in our light and fresh menus created for alfresco dining and our roundup of summer stone-fruit recipes.
