I love tree's & flowers, being one with nature. I absolutely fell in love with this place it was nice seeing different tree's & flowers from different parts of the world... it was interesting to see them thrive under one roof in controlled moist and humid environment!! I saw trees from Africa, Puerto Rico, Madagascar!!!! Just lovely I tell you!! It was a really cold day in Madison, it's a great escape from the cold...use your imagination, you'll be in the tropics!! We are so close to Nature, I loved everything about The Botanical Gardens!! I saw a little orange birdie flying around too, he seemed so happy to be there too. They have different places where you can just sit, reflect on whatever your heart desires, some people were even reading. So it's diffently somewhere you can find some peace, even if it's not quiet... it's still a little piece of heaven on Earth!!! I can't wait to Return to see what's new!! BTW...the gift shop is very intriguing as well, you can buy something special for someone else or even yourself!!! It's a bit pricey but worth it for some of the unique items you may only find there!! Enjoy!!
