The Botanical Gardens {Fun}

My husband And I are on vacation visiting my family in Southern California. He had a few work meetings in downtown LA, so I tagged along with him. After "work" was over, we swung over to the Huntington Library in Pasadena to have lunch and walk through the gardens. It was so beautiful {a little warm} but definitely scenic. It's amazing to think 210 acres dedicated to the entire facility and 120 of that is the garden, right in the middle of a huge city! You can go have tea in the rose garden or walk over koi ponds in the Japanese garden. We also took a "desert stroll" through cacti and succulents. So much to look at and explore. The great thing too is every plant and tree is labeled, so if you have a garden of your own and fall in love with a certain flower or type of tree, you can write down the name and look it up yourself. So beautiful, check it out:
