Spring time means it is not only time to grow in my own backyard but it is also a time to be inspired.  An educational and inspiring visit to Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor Michigan is a great spring day get away.  The photos in this blog post are from my visit to the gardens.  Check out the slide show video and highlights of the trip below.

Plants In The Meadow Garden

There were many native plants along the garden pathway this time of year.  One of my favorites was the Virginia Bluebells.  I’d love to have these in my wood line garden.

  1. This place is beautiful. Could you imagine going there in the fall with all the colors.

    • Hey Rita – I agree! I will have to add that to my list of things to do in the Autumn. The trees that are in this location will put on a beautiful show in Michigan during the month of September – October.
