Virtual Tour of Vines Botanical Gardens

We spent Saturday March 18 at a park that is only 5 minutes from our home. We took a picnic lunch and really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. Doesn't Rick look relaxed?

The daffodils were abundant and there were several varieties I really love. (In case you didn't know-they are my favorite flower.)

The park has many statues in different locations...my favorite is the Roman "4 Seasons Garden" with columns & statuary that is so beautiful.

There are several bridges throughout the park; four of them converge in the middle of the water at a Gazebo. This is so awesome. (Last year there were Swans-but we only saw Canadian geese this year.)

The different flowering bushes and flowers bloom all season long. What a breathtaking display!

Rick's favorite garden is a pine forest with a miniature village. Each Saturday & Sunday @ 11:30 a.m. a model train travels in and out of the village, over a miniature bridge, and back to the railroad station house. (We really want to take our grandchildren to see this next time they come for a visit.)


This is the end of your virtual tour.
