Rose lovers head to Elizabeth Park in Hartford, CT to view the 2.5 acre rose garden filled with 15,000 rose bushes.
Good company, lively conversation, tasty food, and an enveloping walk around and under growing and blooming greenery … this is my idea of a great way to spend an early spring day. Add in a few other garden bloggers and it's a recipe for fun. I met garden bloggers Cyndy from Gardening Asylum, Scott from Blue Heron Landscapes, and Layanee from Ledge and Gardens, at The Vanilla Bean Café in Pomfret, CT – it's a great little lunch spot if you're in the area – then we caravanned to Logee's in Danielson, CT.
As promised in my last post, here we wander through the Fiery Furnace region of Arches National Park. We signed up for an afternoon ranger-led tour through the spires and hoodoos. Since we visited Arches in October, we were able to sign up for this tour in the morning. It's advised to make reservations in advance if visiting the park during peak summertime months.
With snow covering all of Connecticut it's a good time to take a virtual hike back to a time of warmth and sunshine and amazing sites. This is another of the National Park Visits my husband and I made in October 2010. Enjoy.
