This week, I went up to Manito Park for a day with my mom and brother. We got lunch at the Park Bench Cafe and walked through a few of the gardens. The food was great but the flowers were even better! Plus, the sun was shining and it was a perfect temperature for an outside adventure!
This is a view from a gazebo like thing. It over looks some of the plants, a bridge, and a koi pond. There are not as many koi in the pond as usual but the few that they did have were very cool to watch!
In this picture you can see a little waterfall that flows into the koi pond and a cool little tower thing (I have no idea what it is called).
This is a view of the "old" roses. They smelled great but most were not blooming a lot. Despite this they were still beautiful to see and smell.
Here is a picture of the "new" roses. There were so many beautiful different colors plus they had some fun names. My brothers favorite flower name was, "Double Knock Out." He thought it was hilarious to name a flower that.
These ones were my favorites! I love the peachy color and how the colors change a little bit. I also loved the ones that were white at first and turned pink when they fully bloomed. (I didn't get any pictures of these ): )
One of the other flower garden we visited was Duncan Gardens. As you can see from the picture above it is gorgeous! The flowers were beautiful and in full bloom and the walk through it was very fun. It felt like something out of Downton Abby!
Lastly here is a picture of my brother and I in front of the fountain in Duncan Gardens. A few minutes before we took our picture, it was shooting water out of the top and we were hoping that it would do it again and we could get that in a picture. Sadly not, the fountain did not shoot up for our picture but it was still beautiful. The trip was so much fun to go on and provided great entertainment for our day.
