Bushy Park – Richmond, England

Travel / Megan

One really cool thing about having friends where you visit is that you get a little more homey experience.    So the Sunday of our trip, we visited K’s aunt and uncle, and had a Sunday roast lamb.    With trifle for dessert! We also got to take a turn through the Woodland Gardens at […]

White trillium

Coastal Maine Botanical Garden – Trilliums

Maine / Megan

The last time I saw forest wildflowers at the CMBG was before the Children’s Garden had come into existence, so I was very surprised and pleased to run into the trillium bed in the back corner of the Children’s Garden.     All of these pictures are from there, except the last shot, which is
