The weather was chilly and sunny. About halfway through the event it warmed up enough to start delayering. We walked the perimeter of the Garden in a counterclockwise direction. We started at the Daffodil Garden, stopped enjoyed both the variety of Daffodils and the scenic views. There is a new Scenic View spot that is even batter the old one. We preceded to the Manor House, Inspiration Gardens, then to Fern Dell, no ferns. Next stop Wildflower Meadow, too early for wildflowers, a stop to enjoy the blowing Cherry trees, a quick stop at both the Rose Gardens and Day Lilly Gardens, still too early for both. This finished the perimeter. We now headed though the center of the Garden, first looking at the Waterlily Garden, again still too early, then to the Tulip Garden, Here we stopped and enjoyed the variety of Tulips. We stopped at the Grandchildren’s Sculpture Garden, took several different paths though the Japanese Garden, and returned to the entrance.

Thanks to Dacotah for joining us on her first hike.

Several of us went to Downtown Ball Ground for lunch where we enjoyed food at Dominic’s Food Trucks and Dining.
