There were lots of different plants and trees in a beautiful setting of pathways and fountains. There were some Species that date back over two centuries. It was very impressive.

We enjoyed a leisurely walk through the gardens looking at the vast array of plants, and flowers. Some of the ones we really enjoyed were the tulips which were in full bloom now.

There were also flowering trees in the garden that not only looked beautiful but also smelled great. It is too bad we can’t put the smell and sounds in the blog. There were birds singing throughout the entire time we were there. It was very nice and relaxing.

One of the interesting trees we found during our walk was this Kiwi tree. We have never seen a Kiwi tree before.
