Flowers in Spring

     Wednesday of this week was another beautiful day in North Central Wisconsin. And a great day to get out of the house, drag my sister out of her house and go visit a garden. 

A few years ago, I heard of the Monk Botanical Gardens on the north side of Wausau, Wisconsin and have wanted to tour it since then. The Gardens sit on 30-acres and are named after the late Robert W. Monk, who donated much of the land with the intent of the development of a public garden.

It was such a beautiful place.

And even though it is still early in the season, many flowers were blooming.

I wish I knew the names of all of them, or that at least they were all labeled for those of us who are botanically challenged.

If you live anywhere in the area, it is worth the visit – it’s easy to find, less than a mile east of Fleet Farm on Campus Drive.

And maybe you will know all the names of the flowers and other plants.
