Heathcote Botanical Gardens

While we enjoyed McKee Botanical Gardens a few days ago, we liked our visit at Heathcote Botanical Gardens more.  It's smaller, but it has the largest permanent display of bonsai in the U.S.  DH was fascinated by them.

There was a Japanese garden area with koi, of course.   And several flower beds in bloom.  

The children's garden area was fun. Lots of fairy spots and child-sized playhouses. And a cool hopscotch course!

And for the second day in a row, I had a snake startle me.

The palms were interesting including this triple-crown.

Best part? They are part of the AHS Reciprocal Garden Network.
