The Dixon is a wonderful place any time of the year, but in the spring! Oh! In the spring!
The tulips at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens are lovely:
as are the azaleas:
And there's always the peaceful woodland setting to enjoy:

Oh Wow such a beautiful place! When I was a child we had a place similiar to this nearby that our parents always took us to-especially in the spring time-always so up lifting after winter. Thanks for the memories and sharing
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday Kathy
There was a couple there the day I was who had brought their 3 year old daughter for the first time. I bet they bring her back and she'll have fond memories like ours :)
DeleteWhat a magnificent tulip garden oh and those Azaleas are amazing ... seeing these photos gives me more hope that yes spring will arrive - right now it's snowing big wet flakes & I could say some very rude things but I won't. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd be saying rude things, too, if we were having snow after all the wet/gray days we've had. It rained here all week-end long but sunshine rules today :)
DeleteGorgeous! Especially on this dreary, rainy day
ReplyDeleteThere's been so much rain! The dogwood blossoms have really suffered. I'm glad there are some scattered sunny days for outings like this. It was the perfect day for a garden trip.
DeleteWonderful pictures! I especially like the yellow and red mix in a couple of them.

The yellows and reds look good together, I agree. Their garden designers do a great job :)
DeleteI think this must be something you dreamed. It is just too beautiful. Wow, azaleas and tulips. They are the best. A nice chance to see these while I wait another month or so for ours to bloom here. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThey do a beautiful job there! Our tulips and azaleas will be done by the time yours start. I'll look forward to photos on _your_ blog then :)
DeleteAbsolutely lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI'm dreaming of flowers in another month or so. :)
Life in the South is definitely more my speed :) Your long winters and snowy Aprils are too cold for my taste. Of course some people complain about our long, hot, steamy summers ;) but not me :)
DeleteWonderful photos, what a gorgeous place to visit. Valerie
ReplyDeleteThey really are a special place, especially in the spring. But summers are good, too, with their colorful cutting gardens.
DeleteNot sure how I missed this, but I love those tulips. They remind me of my front yard with the yellow and red stripes. I got mine at our botanical gardens several years ago after they had been pulled up. The Garden charged $0.25 for one bulb and no one knew what color(s) they were getting. By the time I got throu8gh the line there weren't that many left, I was lucky to even get any. I really enjoyed seeing both the azaleas (which I tried to grow in MO, but not here) and the gorgeous tulips.
