The Three Most Beautiful Gardens that Macrine and I had Visited

The other day I just finished my 6-part series on Coping with Grief: Today, I decided to write on a subject that Macrine and I enjoyed-Gardens.  Macrine and I had visited several gardens in US and in the Philippines. But today's article is devoted to the three most beautiful gardens that we have visited in US and Canada.

Macrine and I visited Butchart Gardens, Victoria, BC, Canada, in 2005

So it is time for a virtual tour of the three most beautiful gardens that Macrine and I had visited several years ago.

Perhaps in the near future when this Covid-19 is controlled you may be able to visit in person the following three gardens as follows: Buchart ( Victoria, British Columbia), Filoli ( Woodside, CA) and Longwood Gardens( Kenneth Square, PA-suburb of Philadelphia).

Macrine and I have visited Longwood Gardens twice but visited the other two only once. The gardens looked different during the various seasons, but for us spring time was our favorite season. It is the time when the gardens are most colorful.

The following are some of the photos I took of the three gardens. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we did.
