I live across the street from the Gardens, but so rarely visit! I finally popped in last week, and it was a zen-like, out-of-body experience. Why don't I go more often?????? The southern-most greenhouse is especially nice, with the little trickling rill. Warm, full of flowers, and FREE!!!! It's a tad run-down, as you'd expect from a city-run garden. But it's still a treat. Mind the odd bum at the entrance. Seriously, a wee stroll through here (and it won't be more than 15 mins) is a little bit of paradise in the middle of winter. I vow to go more often!
