G is for (Olbrich Botanical) Gardens

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

This summer Jake and I took a short trip to Madison, WI, which included a little stint at the Olbrich Botanical Gardens. If you're ever in the area, go check it out. The conservatory is only $2, the outdoor area is free, and it's all beautiful. I'm sharing just a few of my favorite pictures here today. You can also go check out more pictures from the Madison trip over here. Enjoy.













Check out what the other Alphabe Thursday participants posted for the letter G this week right here!

  4. Beautiful shots! I love botanical gardens -- there are several in my vicinity and I love to go to them in the spring. One has a very elaborate Chinese pagoda similar to the one you show.
    Happy New Year, Rose!

  5. That pagoda is really cool! And I love the marigolds a couple shots below it. There's a neat botanical gardens really near us with lots of cool tropical plants. We went the other day, but mostly just got rained on because we live on the rainy side of an island in the rainy season!
