Millions of Americans have been spending the last few months tilling soil and planting seeds in their gardens. The National Gardening Association estimates that members of more than one-third of households in this country are flower gardeners, and millions more will visit parks and gardens close to where they live or as they travel to enjoy some of Mother Nature’s magnificent floral displays. Then there are those who will check out an underground grotto where fruit trees bloom, a centuries-old tree trunk that supports a thriving plantscape, and a botanical garden filled with mementoes of popular children’s books.
If you think a garden must be an area where only colorful blossoms bloom, think again. A surprisingly diverse collection of unique gardens throughout the country awaits discovery and exploration by those who appreciate natural beauty, intriguing stories, unusual attractions, and touches of humor.
