Botanical Gardens






Last Sunday, we drove out to the Bronx to spend the day at the New York Botanical Gardens with our friends Carla and Aaron. Carla's sister is a research biologist there, so we received a full-on insider's tour. It was awesome.

We traversed for nearly five hours, stopping only for lunch in the garden café. If I had to choose my absolute favorite aspects of the visit, they would be the stunning Monet exhibition, the glass-house conservatory, and the rose garden. My oh my, the rose garden.

      us too, alli. and without fail, the sight of one always makes me squeal like a child. This one was super close though (like three feet away) and seemingly entirely unconcerned with all the adoring humans.

    An inside tour is awesome! Sounds like some of the best 5 hours of summer too.

    Botanical Gardens are my favorite! And that sounds like a dream to have a friend give you all the details about the place!!

    We have a beautiful rose garden in Regent's Park here in London - the smells, the colours, everything about it is so inspiring and good for the soul!
