Visit to Two Public Gardens

This weekend I visited the Japanese Garden at Normandale Community College.  My husband joked that we should both get jobs there, but it's not a good idea.  With a garden like that, I'd spend more time outside than indoors.

I also visited the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.  The tree is Japanese Lilac Tree, which is the last lilac to bloom and blooms every other year.  I'm looking around my gardening spaces trying to figure out where to put one--along with many of the other plants and trees and shrubs that caught my fancy during this visit.  If I ever move to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, I want to be close to the Arboretum so I can visit during every season.
