On Sunday, March 15, 2009, we went to Garvan Woodland Gardens. I really enjoyed walking the natural trails through the woods and seeing all the displays. Even though the blooms were limited to the season, the displays were spectacular. I thought it was better than the Dallas Arboretum because of the setting.
As we started down the trail to the gardens were were met by three hawks flying over our heads. One had a bad wing. They circled several times before flying off.
The tulips, daffodils, camellias, and azaleas were in bloom along with some of the trees.
The lady running the map station told us to throw small gravel into the koi pond to get their attention since they cannot feed until after the water temp reaches 50 degrees. So the youngest had fun having them swim up to him and churning up all the water.
The oldest took so many pictures that we had to go buy another card for his fancy camera. I will have to wait until he goes back to his apartment and makes me a dvd to see his pictures.
It was a very nice afternoon. We did not go to the chapel and I wish we had, but it was getting dark and we thought it would be best to head back to the house.
