Wonderful Gardens

[DianaR]

I don't know if every state in the union has botanic gardens, but Denver's Botanic Gardens is one of my favorite places to visit. Notices are sent to members with information surrounding public events and active bloomers, and weddings take place there throughout the summer months.



Are there botanic gardens near you?

We do but they are not nearly as beautiful or colorful as yours because ours are Desert Botanical Gardens mostly.

Chicago has a really beautiful Botanic Garden as well. Used to love going there as a child and now they even have their evenings in the park with music and dancing. Awesome!

Longwood Gardens is located west of Philadelphia, about an hour from our home here in New Jersey. It is an incredible place to visit. The gardens include a wide selection of specimen trees, outdoor gardens and a conservatory. See more photos and learn more about these incredible Pennsylvania Gardens on our feature page here.

Looks nice. They must have spent hard labor and lots of money on it.

I believe that money from the state's lottery pays for purchasing plants or seeds, along with the wages of those who work there.

What a beautiful picture. We don't see lush areas like this in Denver. The indoor portion of our Botanic Gardens is a rain forest-like environment.
