Frederik Meijer Gardens is such a fantastic place ...

Frederik Meijer Gardens is such a fantastic place to visit no matter what time of year it is. Sure, during the winter months the outside gardens and sculptures might be covered in snow and it might not be a warm enough day to go for a walk around the area to look at things. Luckily for us though, this wonderful place is loaded with greenhouses filled with so many different varieties of plants, from the tiniest little ground cover or cactus to the tallest, biggest tropical trees I've ever seen, and I've been to both Coasts and the Carribean. I really love seeing plants thriving so far away from their homes!

What I especially loved about my visit today was seeing all of the families. It is so refreshing to see families spending time together but also learning about nature and art. How wonderful!

And Butterflies!!!
