We'd visited 2 special gardens during our Alaska cruise (Carnival Spirit) in June, 2011. The first garden is the Glacier garden in Juneau, Alaska. This garden is small but very special with unique upside down tree flower towers. The second garden is the Butchart gardens in Victoria, Canada. The Butchart gardens are very beautiful, and well organized. All pictures of the Butchart gardens were taken in the evening around 7-9 pm, therefore, they are are not very bright. We wish to visit this garden again on a sunny day!

Last month, we visited many gardens in California and took so many pictures. Pictures of most of the gardens that we visited had been added to the Botanical Garden and Arboretum page in the past sereral weeks. Pictures of the Sherman Library and Gardens were added today. If you love Fuchsia flowers, you should visit this page. Sherman gardens have a large collection of Fuchsia and begonia flowers. If you cannot visit the Sherman gardens, you can get a virtual tour of this garden at this page.
