Bennington Garlic Fest

Garlic Fest – Bennington, VT

New England / Megan

We spent Labor Day weekend in Vermont, and since some of the weekend was on the cold and rainy side, my pictures are mainly of the wildflower type, so will show up on my other blog.    But we did manage a visit to the annual Garlic (and now Herb) Fest, so we could get

Heritage Museum and Gardens

Heritage Museum and Gardens – Sandwich, MA

New England / Megan

This is a neat place to visit in Cape Cod – not only are there gardens, but there’s a collection of antique cars, and a few art galleries scattered about the grounds. They also have a really cool hidden children’s garden, and some great programs, even if it does mean that the adults are being

Jardin Botanique Montreal – Indoor Gardens

2 Comments / New England, Travel / Megan

The botanic garden also has a fantastic conservatory, which just kept going, and going, and going.   There was an orchid room, and a fern room, and a begonia room, and a Spanish hacienda garden, and a bonsai room.     And more. I really enjoyed our visit there, and absolutely must go back, because

Governor’s Garden at the Chateau Ramezay

Governor’s Garden at the Chateau Ramezay – Montreal, QC

New England, Travel / Megan

This garden was a really cool find – it’s attached to the Chateau Ramezay Museum and Historic site, but had free access.    It’s set up with sections reminiscent of an earlier 18th century garden in New France.    There’s a potager, an orchard and ornamental sections.    I was so excited to see this – it’s

Cirque du Soleil

Old Montreal and Cirque du Soleil

New England, Travel / Megan

Here’s where the vacation became international – on Friday morning, we headed up to Montreal.    (It’s an easy two hour drive from Burlington.   What ended up not being easy was finding our hotel, since they’re rebuilding the main bridge over the St. Lawrence, and the road closures are epic, and random.) We stayed
