A Special Day at F.M. Gardens

On the day of our 4 year anniversary the Mr. and I spent the day at F.M. Gardens. It was a beautiful and pretty much perfect day. Inside we got to see the work of Degas! It was really cool to see the work of someone I have studied. Then we went to see the dessert plants and the tropical plants. I had some fun taking pictures of several of the tropical plants. Please enjoy...





After we saw everything we wanted to inside we headed outside where we found the strangest looking bug. We have no clue what it is. It looks like a combination of a crayfish, hummingbird, and a bee. If anyone can identify it for us that would be just dandy!



From there we headed to one of the board walk trails. It happened to take us into some wet lands where we saw over a dozen turtles, some ducks, some Canadian Geese, and plenty of bugs.



The trail ended at a make believe farm with fake animals and a bathroom! Here are some sheep for you all to enjoy. There is a small hint of "something" to come. See if you can figure it out...



On our way back we spotted a small Gwen Frostic garden. Here is the sign for it...I thought it was pretty and since nothing else screamed Gwen Frostic in the garden this sign was it.



Before we left I talked the Mr. into checking out the kids area. There was some really fun stuff for the kids to do. There was a really cool tree house and this neat Great Lakes water feature. All in all it was a great day!
