Last
week Max and I had the opportunity to freely explore the Fred Meijer Gardens
Springtime family event. Seeing as how viewing the “butterfly room” had been on
both of our to-do lists since last Spring, we happily took advantage of the
opportunity!
The
greenhouse at Fred Meijer is unlike anything I've seen before (in Michigan).
It’s absolutely incredible and magically transports anyone who enters to a
paradise of butterfly hopes and tropical dreams. I can’t even begin to imagine
how long it took to grow some of these trees and vines to be so luscious… but
the word that comes to mind is decades!
This
place was absolutely beautiful! You could feel the humidity in the room and you
could smell the plants. These sensations made my heart ache for summertime and
for Mexico (family vacation or honeymoon number 2 would do!).
It
was a PERFECT way to spend a dreary Tuesday in Michigan. A Tuesday that was
knocking on May’s door, yet still snowing… yeah I needed the humidity and
tropical magic of that room J
Ahhhh!! This post is right up my alley! I love it! Haven't been to that place in years and years. Glad you enjoyed it. Did you discover a new favorite plant? Did you learn some new plant names? I'll have to take a visit in the near future to see what's new since I was last there.
