A friend of mine whisked my daughter (aged 9 months) and I off to the Botanical Gardens at Roger Williams Park last week - what a sanctuary!
We all loved the HUGE palms, relaxing Koi-filled ponds and wacky looking carnivorous bog!
I secretly did not want to share with anyone since it was a rare and tranquil find in these parts but what the heck - lets spread some peace!
Not sure of the opening times but the head gardener there was very friendly. I should also mention it is FREE and toasty warm.
