(Yay! I can start blogging again and visit other blogs, too. My internet started working again! I didn’t do anything to make it start working–except I was about to call tech support again. I think it’s magic!)

We have a wonderful botanical garden here in Des Moines. We became members when we moved here and it’s a great place to visit. I think it will be especially nice in the winter since there is a tropical portion under a dome.
I’m showing photos of our visit last week as well as photos from a visit in the spring.

Isn’t the bed garden cute! They also had an old stove full of plants. Great ideas.
