Hotel life - Week 6

The rose garden

This past week brought us to the St Albert Botanic Park. I had come across it in an article I read online, and I hadn't heard of it before, but the photos were beautiful, and it looked like somewhere I wanted to go. The gardens did not disappoint! My only regret was that I missed peony season, but it will be something to look forward to someday when I'm back in Edmonton. There was just so much to see there that I barely wanted to close my eyes, and the rose garden was lightly scented with the many roses. What I also love about this place is that it's totally volunteer-run, so entry is free. It's an unbelievable place to visit for free! 

I also wish I had known about this place when I got married. We found a decent place with some trees near our venue, but the botanic park here is actually relatively close to our venue and would have been much more suitable for wedding photos--but you can't know everything! I took a lot of photos, but I've only included a few here. Make sure you click on them so you can see them larger rather than the thumbnails I've included here.
