Today was a picture perfect day in the wake of a cold front that brought quite a wonderful display of lightning and thunder the previous evening (as well as, a mason jar with evidence of nearly 2" of rain!) It was a day that just begged me to do something I've been thinking about for a couple of months now: a visit to Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland. Located a stone's throw from where I've lived for the past 14 years, and I'd never taken the time to check it out.
My loss!
It's a beautiful place to take a walk, or to bring a book, or a friend. Many beds of annuals mix with perennials and ornamental bushes and trees along side expanses of well-manicured lawns. The copious paths lead you through dedicated gardens, around several ponds, amidst a wooded area filled with shade loving plants, and to several points of interest. It's a mere 50 acres, but feels very much grander.
