I love, love, love visiting Botanical Gardens, and this one in Balboa Park in San Diego is no exception. My children actually liked visiting, too. I’m not sure if we just lucked out that day or if the lilly pond with koi leading up to the indoor garden was a factor. Whatever it was, I’m not complaining.
Do you have any local botanical gardens you’d recommend?
Wordful Wednesday is like Wordless Wednesday, only WITH words. It’s for those of us that can’t contain the chatter, but in a good way. More info. in my tabber box titled WW on the right. Thank you for playing along!
Don’t forget to hop on over to my co-host Amanda’s place (Parenting By Dummies) to see what she has to be Wordful about today!
About Angie
I’m flying to San Diego in 2 days for BlogHer, hope to see you there!
I don’t even know if we have botanical gardens around here!
Wow, that place looks amazing! I love the botanical gardens in Fort Worth, near where we lived in TX. SO pretty…
Those lily pads are so cool! I have never actually seen one in real life… it’s a bit too cold here.
Those are absolutely beautiful. I have a purple lotus tattooed on my back and it looks just like the ones in your photos!
We have Kanapaha Botanical Gardens here, and they are gorgeous as well.
Beautiful!!! Love it!
Oooh Pretty I wanna go there!!! I have never been to a good one. I want to though!
Aloha! Mrs. Marine
& the Tiny Troops
beautiful!
I WISH we had one near us… I think the closest would be 2 hours away in Philadelphia….
LOVE the lilypads…..have you ever seen the bottom of one of those GIANT ones? There are like needles on it!
Such pretty pictures!
I’m a sucker for botanical gardens too, but I haven’t been to one in years. 🙁 I’ll need to fix that! By the way, you took some fabulous shots Angie!
That’s absolutely gorgeous! I wish I had time to see that this week. See you soon!
beautiful! looks so peaceful 🙂
We have a local gardens that we like to visit, especially during Christmas because the put up Christmas trees from all over the world.
It sure is beautiful there. We have some here, but I’ve never been! And, since it’s a million degrees right now, I don’t think we’ll be headed there any time soon.
What a perfect day to visit the gardens!
Gorgeous, I wish there was one around here, my girls would love that.
Beautiful pictures. We have some great botanical gardens by me. A large one in a nearby city, as well as a small one in the city I live in. I love to go visit them.
I love them too! Great pics!
Beautiful!
That’s gorgeous. I don’t think we have anything like that, you know, you can only look at so many different varieties of cactus and desert grasses before your kids mutiny…
Beautiful pictures. I love how you captured the pink of the flowering lily pads. We have the Morton Arboretum, in Illinois, that I just love! Nothing like a beautiful day … with the kids! -Laverne
Love this! I wish we had more around here. I guess I need to get to researching. I would love to go to a place like this.
Oh how peaceful and serene that looks (well..the pics without the hundreds of people)
Wow…we have botanical gardens in Hawaii but they look NOTHING like that!
Gorgeous photos, mama!
I love botanical gardens too! We have a few pretty ones here. My favorite is Bok Tower over in Lake Wales, FL. That’s a gorgeous day trip. If you are over this way again, you should definitely visit it.
Oh my gosh….I have honestly never been to a botanical garden, but maybe I should try it out! And if I am ever here, I will have to go to that one. It is simply gorgeous!! I love the pictures of the lillies in the pond! So pretty! 🙂

the wellington botanical gardens are pretty cool – so when you comin’!?!?!?!?! the spring tulips in september are awesome!
Oh – I love Balboa Park! We have no botanical gardens nearby, but often stop at them while traveling.
Don’t you just love Balboa Park? It such a gorgeous place to visit.
Well next time your visiting your favorite Little Sister in Utah, we should hit Red Butte. Its in Salt Lake near the U. Also, did you ever go to the one in DC, its awesome.
Gorgeous! We visit Cheekwood in Nashville quite a bit. Always a lot of pretty to take in!
Love the lily pads! I am sucker for the botanical gardens too. Especially the butterfly garden. I am hoping to find one near our new place too.
