We spent the morning walking around all the different lakes and streams. The whole garden is extremely toddler and pregnant lady friendly which earns extra bonus points. There are lots of nice big wide paths and not to many hills.
There are tons of big fat ducks and bossy geese around the lakes, and they love visitors or I should say snacks. I didn't realize this but I gave Nora a graham cracker and a goose chased us around for nearly 20 minutes. and just for a crumb! It actually felt pretty creepy, like I was in some movie (Attack of the Birds, ring a bell?). It really freaked me out, but once we put away our snack, we were safe.
This was such a special way to spend a morning, even if we did get chased by a naughty goose.

Haha, that naughty goose indeed! So glad you wised up and put that tidbit away- a graham cracker is so not worth a finger. ;) This looks like a beautiful place to stroll! I'm inspired to visit our Botanical Gardens soon.
Oh my goodness ... What I gorgeous spot. I can totally see why you love it!
Aww, those pigtails! Super cute!
Also, geese can definitely be scary!
So beautiful garden !

Her pigtails are priceless btw.

Oh, this looks so beautiful! I grew up where lots of rhododendrons grow, but the city I live in now is an azalea city for sure. Similar, but not the same. They bloom in one stunning short burst in the spring and BOOM, over and out.
Also, geese, definitely scary. ;)
Wow! These pictures are gorgeous! I love visiting parks and gardens like this!

This place is simply beautiful! I loved the story about the naughty goose. And that's wonderful that you were able to go back and reminisce to a place that's dear to your heart.
oh my gosh, i haven't been there in so long that i entirely forgot about it! i will have to try to make a visit while the weather is still so lovely.
Look like a lovely place to hang out.

Gorgeous photos! I have a weakness for botanical gardens. They are so peaceful and inspiring! I try to visit them in every city I travel to. I actually got engaged in the botanical gardens in Madrid.
Wow looks like such a beautiful day and absolutely gorgeous photos!

Great pics! We lived around the corner from there when we were in Portland, in Eastmoreland. Was one of our fav spots to stroll through on nice days, although those geese could definitely be pushy! :)
How very pretty! I didn't get to check this out last time I was there... next time...
So, so beautiful! I really need to take my daughter to some sort of botanical gardens for her to see how beautiful nature can be!
Being chased around by a goose would have absolutely terrified me! The gardens look so beautiful.
those gardens look beautiful
