Hobarts Botanical Gardens

NO Charge!

There's even a merry-go-round.

The conservatory was most excellent.

Individual flowers are breathtaking.

Look at this...wow.

Flower child.

Potting area.

Nancy's favorite rose.

A dragon.

Japanese Garden...very Zen.

Cool little fountain.

French Garden Fountain.

Picnic areas everywhere.

Just awesome.

Trees with red leaves are my favorite.

Great Clock.

Lily ponds...ahhh.

Meditation pond.

Artistry.
     On New Years we spent a good part of the day at the Botanical Gardens...a wonderful walk thru the park. What we really enjoy about these places is the natural layouts the designers create...the gardens are always perfect and seem to take natural looks and improve on it. And with the fantastic health of the plants the whole area is beautiful. It's like a well designed home or building only the architects are artistic gardners. This place was grand with the grounds going on and on. There was a Japanese garden that was very Zen and a French garden with the coolest fountain. Amazingly the tour was free...no charge...nada! In this day and age to find something this neat to do, and for it to be free is like...impossible. The pictures we got were fabulous...enjoy.
