Although we are not allowed on site full time right now, I have permission from the Garden to check out the buildings once a week. Without venturing out into the prairies and woodland, I was able to take a few pictures from around the glass house and cabin.
Enjoy a glimpse of LREC delighting in Spring on its own terms.
