Botanical Garden of the Ozarks - Spring 2011

I found a large variety of flowers blooming at the Botanical Garden when I visited on Saturday.  You can visit the Garden for free on Saturday morning and there was a steady stream of people enjoying all of the flowers and taking advantage of the beautiful weather. 

Chef's in the Garden

Last night was Chef's in the Garden at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks. I was one of the volunteers selling drinks, but I also got to sample all the great food from the different chef's that participated. Chef's in the Garden had great food in a great location. This is a yearly event so if you missed it this year you can plan on going next year.

Firefly Festival

I was a volunteer for the Firefly Festival at the Botanical Gardens of The Ozarks last night. The Festival is a great place for families to come out and enjoy the garden, the activities, people in costume, and the concert. I worked from 6 till 8 and when I left the people were still coming into the garden. It was a great activity that lasted until 10:00 p.m.. If you missed this year watch for the dates next year and plan to attend.

Spring at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks

Entering it's third year, The Botanical Garden of the Ozarks continues to improve. I took these pictures before people arrived for the Greening of the Garden. If you live in the area come out and see for yourself.

Greening of the Garden

I volunteered at the Greening of the Garden at the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks in Fayetteville Thursday. This is a big fund raiser for the Garden. The weather was perfect, the food and entertainment great and all had a good time. If you live in the area plan to attend next year and watch of other events during the Summer months.

Join me for a visual tour to see some of the 36,000 spring bulbs that were in bloom. There are 9 individual gardens arranged around the Great Lawn. Look for the photos highlighting the Children's Garden.

I traveled 20 miles south to Fayetteville, AR and finally got to see the Lipizzaner Stallions. Go see them perform if you every have the chance. They live up to their billing. They allow photos and I took a few to share.
