Seriously, how do I pick just a few images after touring a place like the botanical garden?
Impossible. Next year I will have to devote a week or two to the gardens.
Liz is the curator (kind of a librarian keeping track of an inventory that grows and dies and self-seeds). She gave the first third of the tour.
Chad, the deputy director, met us in the treehouse in the children's garden and finished the tour.
A school child made a drawing about strangler figs, so the grown-ups found a large strangler fig elsewhere on the property and transplanted it into the children's garden.
A 1991 tile mosaic by Roberto Burle Marx is seen from many vantage points in the garden.
Chad finished the tour in the oriental garden.

A beautiful garden, it must get a lot of visitors.
Killer trees you say Jack, that would make my back garden a bit more exciting :) your botanical gardens look very nice, look forward to seeing more..
I love BRIGHT COLOURS in the garden, and I love botanical gardens, so I too look forward to see more from your visit there.

What a beautiful place to explore, Jack.
Thank you for the tour of the Botanical Gardens. Wish I could wander around there.
That looks like quite a beautiful garden, Jack! We will soon be seeing pics from Elizabeth Park I presume.
It looks quite amazing and exotic. So different from the gardens I have started to show on my blog today.
Botanical gardens are so exciting, Jack !
