Visit a Garden!

 Rob and I just visited the Royal Botanical Garden (RBG) in Ontario.  Gardens provide many sources of inspiration.  Look at their Children’s programs.  During our visit, a docent was explaining how to repot plants.  RGB has a large natural playground.  Plan ahead to see what amenities and activities are available.  Plan a picnic or look for a nearby playground to visit after the garden tour.  Look for free tours.  When we lived in Winchester, the Glen Bernie Gardens were open for free tours at least once a year.  Blandy Experimental Farm, an Arboretum, nearby,  has free tours.  Colleges, such as Clemson’s SC Botanical Garden  often have free garden tours.  Try a few, small garden tours to see if your family likes these visits before you tackle a big garden, such as Longwood Gardens or The Washington State Arboretum.
