At the Arboretum

Yesterday we visited the University of Minnesota's Arboretum with some friends, the Sinclairs. It is a huge garden, 1000 acres to be exact. It is so big there is no way one can see it in one day. I was really interested in the wildflower garden as well as herb gardens. There was a Japanese Garden, a hosta garden, rose garden, every kind of garden one could imagine, and trees that I had heard of but never have seen. We had a picnic under a maple tree and when we were done touring the gardens we stopped at the gift shop and looked around. Before leaving we bought a pin oak nut so that one day we can plant it in our own backyard. Blogged by Anna
