Takin’ It Easy

Order Lyrica Online The Meadow Garden at Olbrich Botanical Gardens is one of my favorite places in Madison. The garden, based on English meadow gardens, almost takes care of itself. So the going (and growing) is easy. Much of the garden features a low maintenance fescue grass which requires hardly any care at all. A couple of mowings–one in late spring, one in late fall–and no watering or fertilizer make this a “grow easy” garden.

Liberty at Sunset

source link We rode the Staten Island ferry to Manhattan and back, and had a great view of the Statue of Liberty both at sunset and at night. I’ve visited Ellis Island and walked around Lady Liberty, but the statue was closed to visitors at the time. Now the National Park Service has announced they are re-opening visits to the crown of the statue beginning July 4th. Visitors  will be allowed to climb the 168 steps in a double helix staircase to access the crown.

Birds’ View of Madison

The Capitol Building and Madison’e downtown is on an isthmus, only a couple of miles wide, and sandwiched between Lake Mendota (upper) and Lake Monona (lower). Living in the city, everything is quite near one lake or another, but I’m always surprised when I fly over Madison and see how much of the area is water vs. land.

Reflections

Refection Pool

see The pools were calm on the late May afternoon when I walked through Olbrich Botanical Garden’s  outside gardens. The Thai Pavilion’s reflection had an amazing amount of detail.

enter The gardens are in the city of Madison and are one of my favorite places to visit, especially in the warmer months when there is always a variety of plants in bloom.

Thai Pavilion

https://www.grupoursa.com/trayectoria/ The day before we flew to New York City, I showed my sister-in-law a few of the sights in Madison. Olbrich Gardens is always on my tour guide list–rain or shine, anytime of the year. We had sunshine so we toured the 8 outside gardens, all themed. (If it is rainy or cold, the inside conservatory is filled with plants from the tropics, growing amidst walkways, bridges, waterways, and  koi, birds, butterflies.)

source link One of our favorites is the Thai Pavilion and Gardens. The workers had just finished filling the reflection pools as we arrived. There were also wheelbarrows of plantings to be put in, but we didn’t wait to see the results. It will be even greener next visit.

It was assembled by Thai craftsmen in Thailand, then dis-assembled and shipped to Wisconsin. The Thai artisans then re-assembled the pavilion in the Gardens. (The pieces arrived on the last plane to fly out of O’Hare Airport on 9/11. The Thai took that to be a good omen.)

Clonazepam Purchase Online The open-air pavilion, called a “sala” in Thailand, is 40 feet long, 22 feet wide, and 30 feet high. It was a gift to the University of Wisconsin-Madison from the Thai Chapter of the Wisconsin Alumni Association and the government of Thailand through its king, and it bears the Royal seal of the Thai crown.

https://www.52editions.com/absences/ The Gardens feature plants suitable for a Wisconsin climate that give the feel of those found in a Thai garden. There are hardy, large leafed plants, shrubs and trees, pruned to mimic the look of tropical plants. The plantings are designed to promote a serene setting – de-emphasizing color and emphasizing texture and form.
