Botanical Gardens - Naples FL

What a nice way to spend the second day of the New Year 2011. Southwest Florida finally warmed up after our record breaking cold so we took our first trip to the Botanical Gardens with our family. What a treat. The plants, trees, water scenes and themes of each garden was a feast for the eyes.

If you have not visited this garden do not hesitate. It was one of my biggest ah- ha moments for the years we have lived here. So much work and effort has gone into this project it is just a pure joy to see. As the days get longer more of the plants, orchids and bromeliads will be blooming. The butterflies from South America are just now starting to come in and some of the trees are starting to set buds.
