Scope and content
Aida (Mrs. C.H.) Ingram holds an overflowing basket of flowers in front of her Gravelly Lake residence on May 20, 1953. Five families residing on Gravelly Lake Drive opened their gardens to a paying public in order to benefit the women's guild of the new St. Mary's Episcopal Church. Tea would be included at the Corydon Wagner, Jr., residence, in the first annual spring garden walk. The Ingram garden was full of irises, azaleas and rhododendrons. Dogwood trees and firs shaded a rock garden. The Ingram's property had been carved from the Baillie estate. (TNT 5-24-53, D-1)
