Outdoor Sanctuaries

Meet three women in our Jewish community who take the phrase "outdoor living" to heart. In Virginia Highland, Adele Northrup, determined not to let a house fire get her down, rebuilt and decided to make her outside surroundings special, too. Christine Eisner's Buckhead home doesn't end at its brick walls — outdoors and indoors coexist in what she calls a state of "balanced living." And Pat Katz, a landscape architect for Atlanta's city parks, used her artistic vision to design a very special place in south Atlanta that enables children of all abilities to get outside and play.
