San Antonio Botanical Gardens
Tuesday, September 18th, 2007
One place I wish I had more time to spend was the San Antonio Botanical Gardens There are several acres of manicured gardens all with different themes. There are also 5 green houses with themed gardens inside. I only had an hour to spend there but I could easily have spent four going through all the various gardens. Themed gardens included ferns, herbs, roses, water wise, desert, tropical and many others. It is well worth a trip and only a few miles from the River Walk. [gallery] See also: Mercer… Read More
Houston Home and Garden Show

Today I journeyed down to Tomball, TX looking to find The Arbor Gate. It is a great nursery. It has about equal amounts of pots, yard art, and plants. Not a huge selection, but really cool stuff in each group. I found some really cool plants. The cats are happy with the catnip I scored for them. I didn't take many pictures in Tomball, twice I was asked what I was taking pictures of in the antique area and I received many glares so there are only a few shots.
