San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden / Part three of three

 

 

Metal sculpture

Four separate areas are designated as follows; Display garden, Children’s garden, Discovery hike and Fire safe demonstration garden.

The Fire safe demonstration garden teaches you how to implement the 100 feet of defensible space required in California to help defend your home from fires. What I really like is the list of fire resistant plants. 

Fire Safe Demonstation Garden

For Nancy

‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops—at all

And sweetest—in the Gale is heard
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm

I’ve heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest Sea
Yet, never, in Extremity,
It asked a crumb—of Me.

Emily Dickinson

Children’s Garden

 

 

 

 

The Display garden features five mediterranean climate regions including; California, Central Chile, Capetown South Africa, Western and South Australia and the Mediterranean Sea.

Display Garden

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs. If you'd like to send me a message or comment, please do so at; maggie@hungryones.com We just celebrated our 14th Anniversary this October 2016!! So exciting!! 2015 A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting. Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.

    1. That’s a great idea! I’ll have to look in my collection to search for the best one. Yes she was just a beautiful person spreading sunshine to all who knew her. She will be missed.
