Today we crossed the border to New Brunswick and spent the afternoon at the New Brunswick Botanical Garden in Saint-Jacques. It was sunny and cooler today, a perfect day for such a trip. There is a lot of walking at this garden, but they had many perennials and some annuals as well as trees and shrubs in blossom in a lovely setting with brooks and benches everywhere. Enjoy the photos of our visit!
There was a butterfly house full of butterflies. Here Gary has one landed on his finger.
This is a scene of the pond and the water falls on the rocks in the background.
This gazebo is on the pond and in the center of the garden.
There were several sculptures made of living grasses and flowers, but this bird is special.
Yellow day lilies and red astilbe combine into beautiful color.
A pond lily near a rock in the pond.
How about a buffalo with moss eyes and green and red growth all over?
These hollyhocks are lovely - much better than the ones creeping around our door at home.
Another beautiful display of color.
These are a few of the photos we took on this peaceful, lovely day in a place full of beauty. What more could a person ask of a sunny day in July?
