I'd been before, but not in the same context. A few years ago, I somehow ended up here one December evening with a group of friends, where they were having a Christmas celebration, complete with lights, carolers, and free marshmallow roasting. It was pretty awesome, but I couldn't really get a good grasp on what was really going on here.
To be completely honest, I really didn't take many pictures of California native plants, and the few I did take weren't very good. I had to hike quite a ways to find them, and by the time I did, I'd already passed many other much more interesting and beautiful plants from all over the world that really dwarfed the California natives in style by comparison. As such, my best photos are from other parts of the gardens.
It really was hard to sort through my pics at the end of the day, as the gardens very amazing and there were so many different kidns of plants. It was almost like something out of a dream or fantasy novel - just a really cool place that somehow exists right in our own backyard.
This was another solo trip for me, so there's really not a whole lot to say as far as trip happenings - just a case of me showing up, wandering around for an hour and enjoying the scenery. I'll probably be back here.
