Chicago Botanic Gardens 2013

We visited these amazing gardens on our way home from Ryan's wedding. 

I wanted Amy to see how this was done.

Hanging gardens over the entry to the gardens proper.

The children and a friend. :)

I took this one for you Clark. You will want to go here fully equipped for a year and a day...they sailed away....

                         A yellow garden inside one of the English walled garden.

 

A whole hillside of wonderful flowers.

                    The clock that chimes the hour just like a grandfather clock.

 In the Japanese gardens we found our native trees turned into bonsai. Frances thought it felt like walking into a story book.

                                               This, I took for Amy's sake.
