 Gehrke, a litigation paralegal, calls her photo City Garden, mostly due to its smallish, urban dimensions. But the garden is huge on design with its curved pathways, variety of plants and three-season]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If you're one of the Baby Boomer generation, you no doubt remember Beatlemania.
