Summer Gardens

Summer means we spend more of our time outdoors and in our gardens.  I love pretty gardens that are somewhat maintenance free, since in the summer who wants to spend all of our time maintaining the garden.  A summer garden means a lot of greenery with a few pops of color be it in the flowers or the chair cushions.  It means spending your afternoons relaxing outdoors with an iced tea or lemonade, reading a book in the shade or just sitting on a bench listening to the birds and day dreaming.  What is your idea of a perfect summer afternoon?
