Spring Flower Gardens
One of my favorite times of year is to go and visit all of the blooms that finally get a chance to show off after months of gloom. Because I’m not much of a gardener, or more of a wannabe gardener, I find myself drawn to big, showy flower displays, often with camera in hand.
If you like lilacs you might want to take a drive down to the Lilac Gardens in Woodland Washington. http://www.lilacgardens.com/directns.html. They’re having a Lilac Festival through Mother’s Day. (Sunday, May 13, 2007) and admission is $2, according to the website.
Like Rhodies, the Washington State Flower? Try Pt. Defiance or the Rhodendron Species Garden in Federal Way.
There are also numerous Oriental Gardens, Rose Gardens, Arboretums and more spread throughout the region.
