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

We took a very cloudy walk at Mackworth this morning. The fairy houses have been migrating out of the village – some of them are very inventive.

We had a bit of a treat yesterday – a work outing for the afternoon.    We did the Diamond Pass Run on Casco Bay Lines, which runs from Portland in a loop to Little Diamond, Great Diamond and Long Islands.    It was a great time – we were outrunning the rain that nailed

Jardin Botanique Montreal – Indoor Gardens

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

Jardin Botanique Montreal – Outdoor Gardens

1 Comment / Travel / Megan

On Saturday (6/17), we headed out to the botanical garden, which was an easy subway ride from our hotel.    The place is huge – there’s also an insectarium and a biodome you can visit – I don’t know how people do it.     We managed maybe a quarter of the outside gardens, and

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
