Everyone, young and old, enjoys visiting a garden. Think about it. When’s the last time you visited a destination garden that took your breath away? Just walking into a lovely garden will calm visitors almost immediately. Additionally, you can gain ideas for your own home garden even on a smaller scale.
Which garden locations would be a destination garden trip for you?
This is my list of favorite destination gardens:
The Gardens at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia
Claude Monet’s Breathtaking Giverny Garden in France.
