The garden was a bit busier than usual, since there was free admission. We have had a membership in the past, but let it lapse with our trip to Virginia. I think we will be renewing our membership again as I like it a bit less crowded! The kiddos ran along the trails to find the secret climbing tree. They pointed out flowers and examined the artwork installation. The weather was a beautiful for the excursion.

Free Days
A week or so ago, the kiddos and I headed out to the Desert Botanical garden for a free afternoon among the wildflowers. Wildflower season here in the desert is brief but gorgeous. For a few short weeks in the spring, the desert awakens in full bloom. The flowers come in a range of colors-white, orange, red, pink and yellow. I really like the garden most of the year, but this time is special. It is a magical time.

ReplyDeleteWhat a neat place! Looking forward to wildflowers here!
ReplyDeleteI also love having passes to places we love... So much more fun to go when it is not crowded. It feels like we can maintain a much slower pace to enjoy the space.
