We used to live in Westmoreland, so we were lucky enough to be very near the Rhododendron Garden, but even having moved out to the suburbs, we still make a point to come here several times in the Spring/Summer because it is such a beautiful place to visit.
The rhodies and other blooming plants are undeniably gorgeous, but there is also so much more than just flowers here - the soothing sounds of running water, friendly ducks to feed, interesting trails to walk, wooden bridges to cross - it's just a really fun place to experience some of the natural sights and sounds of the area and to enjoy the day as a family. Whether you're taking pictures, eating a picnic, soaking up the scenery or just feeding the ducks (you can buy the feed - don't give them your lunch!), it is a calm and relaxing way to spend the day.
