To celebrate National Public Gardens Day, Better Homes and Gardens magazine put a free one day pass to participating public gardens in their May issue. I looked down the list and... Low and behold... Norfolk Botanical Gardens! I looooove living in an area where I am actually able to attend the events listed in national publications! (This doesn't happen when you grow up in rural Pennsylvania)
But wait! It gets better!! They were having a plant sale! So I picked up a few hard to find varieties of Hydrangea and took a stroll through the rose gardens for some inspiration. Below are some cell phone pics of the roses. Enjoy!
I grew up in a nearby neighborhood and after my Sunday Morning paper delivery I would ride all over the gardens as if it was my own space.
ReplyDeleteI loved going to the pagoda to watch the airplanes take off. I almost always had a big chocolate milk as a reward.
To me the Botanical Gardens is a very spiritual place.
Cheers,
