The orchids were amazing. They are so delicate and the arboretum in which they were housed was a bit magical. I was told they light up the place during Christmas and it's amazing. It looks like we have a return visit in the works.



Tulips are also in season and because of the fairly mild winter, they are in full bloom. There is something so simple about them. Elegant yet understated. I love tulips.



My recommendations: Go to the garden on Mondays - the admission price is discounted - and arrive when they open (you'll have less crowd to deal with). Also, stay away from the little pond hidden by the stage & grassy area. The kids discovered a snake in the water and Noah leaned over a little too far for a look and fell in. Luckily, Carter was right next to him and pulled him out before he went all the way under. He was soaked, but alive, and I was more than grateful for Carter's quick reflexes. Noah was glad the snake didn't bite him.
