I sat on a quiet bench, book in hand...

Check out The Conservatory Garden for location and hours.
GORGEOUS!! So glad the flowers have bloomed for Chag HaAviv! So glad you are able to enjoy them! Can we make a date to go see them together? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how much longer the garden will be in bloom :-(. But definitely - it's stunning all year round!
DeleteYou should mention that many couples about to get married will go to these gardens to have their wedding photos taken. So smart -- don't have to pay for flowers!
