Ann Arbor Botanical Gardens

I was thrilled to discover these amazing gardens this summer. They have a gorgeous flower garden and herb garden, as well as miles of nature paths. AND a special hands-on children's garden. I love going places where my little people are allowed to touch!! We are in heaven every time we go. Bonus: only 30 minutes away and it's free!
 Checking out a dove with my girls

 Huge hibiscus!!

Squeak riding the piggy statue 

Chiquitita makes music with the bells 

 Huge dirt pit--every little kid's dream!

 Riding the turtle

 Fun, big bird's nest (Chiqui was NOT a fan!)

 Peaking under the grape arbor. There was an edible garden that children are allowed to pick and eat from too!


Come visit me and I will show you this awesome place!
