| CAL Berkeley, Botanical Garden | | | |
|
We decided to spend our Friday visiting the Botanical Garden at the University of California, Berkeley. It was our last afternoon with Nanny and perfect weather. The gardens cover 34 acres of mountain side adjacent to the University. We had a great time exploring the gardens and looking at all the beautiful garden 'rooms'.
We especially enjoyed the arid desert garden and the old rose garden.

The Eastern United States garden reminded of us of home. It pretty much looked like our backyard!
We found many specimens from North Carolina and one plant from Henrico, Virginia. Additionally, we had the chance to spot some interesting critters including hummingbirds, a tree frog and newts! Here are some pictures of our day in the garden.
