USA, Cheekwood Botanical Garden, Nashville TN

A friend and I visited Cheekwood this weekend. If you ever make it to Middle Tennessee and want to spend some time outside, this makes for a nice half-day walk. They change exhibits seasonally...the last one was an amazing Chihuly glass installation, but they recently changed it to a neat model train exhibit, complete with scale models of historic Tennessee buildings.

Of course, we had to make a stop at the Japanese gardens, and decided it was time for a costume change.

It's the perfect time of year for Dogwood trees.

April and May are the perfect time to see Cheekwood! If you want to see more pictures, just let me know. I had a hard time picking ones to post!
