The weather in the Tennessee Valley is absolutely beautiful and nearly resort-like. This is providing for great weather for any outdoor plans you may have. In addition, with it being Spring, that is providing an added beauty, too, flowering plants and trees. So where can you go and enjoy both the weather and the flowers? The answer to that question is an easy one, the Huntsville Botanical Garden. I took my two-year old twins there, today, and we had a terrific time. The kids loved the Tremendous Treehouses exhibit and played on all of them. Yes, even my two-year olds were able to enjoy the treehouses and play safely.
The colors of the Garden were outstanding, too, from the tulips, to the pansies, to the wild flowers along the nature trail. It was also a real treat to see the landmark dogwood of the Garden in full bloom. The sad thing was to learn that half of this 100 year old beauty had died and been cut off. The Garden also informed me that this would likely be the last year of bloom for this beauty. Some of you may recall this tree was moved from a home's yard about 15 years ago and moved to the Garden.
I hope you are able to get out and enjoy this weather and will give strong consideration to heading to the Garden. I promise, you won't be disappointed.
Note: This Thursday through Sunday will also be the Garden's annual plant sale. You can come to the Garden and purchase high-quality and beautiful plants. The sale consists of hundreds of different plant species grown at the Garden and now for sale. New for 2010 will be the availability of berry and fruit trees. You can also meet the master gardeners of the Garden and have you soil's pH tested.
