Visit the Meadowlard Gardens
I have lived in the area for quite a while but have never visited the Meadowlark gardens until this morning, and what a fantastic place it is!
Meadowlark has several trails through garden displays of flowers, trees, succulents, ferns and more. One of the highlights was a pond that contains huge snapping turtles, red-eared sliders, koi and catfish, all of whom will fight for bits of food tossed into the pond.
And with different gardens coming into bloom every month, not to mention the fall colors, this is a place I will be sure to return to often.
