2.	HOME AND GARDEN OF MRS. F. N. KOGER, 7314 Ahi Drive. Who would believe that a gracious living area, business office and mini-apartment can co-exist in less than 1700 square feet? Faith Koger, an interior decorator, proves it can be done. Remodeled and furnished with a synergistic mix of country-modem-Federalist antiques, this charming small house delights with the unexpected: scenic painted walls of the enclosed porch, a semi-Italiante front entry, slate floor and skylight in the office, cathedral window in the living room. Outside, giant native azaleas in front. Garden House and patio amidst lovely enclosed garden in back. Be sure to see the stunning wildlife photography of son Tom at the Garden House.
3.	GARDENS OF CAPT. AND MRS. HENRY LANGEN, 8454 Kimo Court. The Langens have more than doubled the garden's size and scope, adding a handsome garden house and potting shed and many more plantings. Enter through a lovely trellis bridge and follow a red brick pathway to a large patio with fountain that provides a private area for family gatherings. A vine-covered gate leads to a path through an undeveloped area, intentionally left as a wildlife habitat. This is a four seasons garden, with a wide variety of plants, planned to give pleasure to the owners, visitors, butterflies and birds. Almost all specimens are labeled, Mississippi natives among them.

A previously neglected garden and backlawn have been beautifully reconstructed, using evergreens, cypress and perennials that blend with the surrounding woods.

Refreshments will be served in the afternoon.
