Jill's mom, Randa, came to visit for a long weekend in April. Jill had found cheap airfare online so her dad, Kurt, purchesed her tickets as a surprise. We really lucked out while she was here with some great weather. Randa had been here a couple of times so didn't have much touring she wanted to do. However we did have some great outings to the US Botanic Gardens and the National Arboretum. Both were equally impressive.
The Botanic Gardens are in the green house of our dreams right off the National Mall by the Senate building and the Native American Museum. This place is large enough that is has an actual rainforest inside with a second level platform so you can walk around and see all the plants from higher up.
An impressive orchid room -
Food & medicinal herb gardens -
We were definately taking mental notes on what we think we could pull off in a cooler MN/WI climate if we had a green house.
