The summer is over -- won't be back for a year -- but you can hardly believe that when looking around in the North End.
Businesses and residents continue tending to their gardens and potted plants. The roses keep budding, the hydrangea are deep purple and the vines and ferns are still healthy.
These vibrant gardens -- both public and private, small or large -- are soothing to the eye and help make the North End a beautiful place to live and work.
