Yup, it's there to greet you, to make you aware of an upcoming exciting event. You really can't miss it. The colors and the logo beckon to you, reminding you of spring and what's to come. And while you're sitting in your car, you see the message "Garden Tour May 12th," along with "Passes on Sale NOW!" A call to action, something difficult to ignore. So, you start thinking about the possibilities of how interesting taking a garden tour will be - especially when it's the Inaugural Secret Gardens Tour in Johns Creek.
