Re: North American Public Gardens

---

Which gardens you visit depends on which part of these vast united states you are visiting. Here is Southern California, you could take 2 weeks visiting public gardens from the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden in the northern part of the region (notice I did not say the northern part of the state since Santa Barbara is a good 1/3 to 3/4 of the way down the state and it isn't even near the southern border) to the vast gardens of Balboa Park near the Mexican Border.  Huntington Library/Gardens are in between as are Descanso Gardens, several arboreta (is that the plural of arboretum?), and other smaller but equally valuable gardens to visit.  Longwood is on the other side of the continent as are wonderful gardens in Florida, North Carolina, etc.  I would bet there is an impressive public garden in nearly every state.

So, where are you planning to travel?
