A Walk in the Garden

When life gets a bit too stressful, taking time out from your daily or weekly routine and go on a short trip helps to clear the mind and soul. And if you are the kind who enjoys being surrounded by nature, then chartering a Cleveland charter bus and planning a trip to the Cleveland Botanical Garden is just the thing to do. Let the colors of the garden refresh your heart and mind as you walk through the garden and enjoy its breathtakingly beautiful flowers, plants, butterflies and hear the birds chirping excitedly away.

Or if you are into gardening and you enjoy checking out gardens whenever you have the time to do so, then you must really make time to visit the Cleveland Botanical Garden in a chartered bus. If you have friends who share similar gardening passion, you can invite them to join you too. The Cleveland Botanical Garden is a lovely place to go and spend an afternoon there. If you take your own sweet time and walk leisurely through every inch of the garden, don’t be surprised that you are still there after 3 hours! The size of this garden is about 10 acres with two glasshouses – the Costa Rican rainforest and the desert of Madagascar.

Inside the Costa Rican rainforest, you will also see a lot of colorful butterflies (we wouldn’t be exaggerating if we say that there could be at least hundreds of them in there!) flying and resting on flowers from time to time. This is definitely a beautiful sight and worthy of a photo shot too, so be sure to bring along your camera with you as well. Little children will be extremely thrilled at the sight of butterflies and if you have children, bringing them for this trip with you would be just marvelous. It’s a great way for them to learn about flowers, plants, butterflies and other small animals too – teaching them to appreciate Mother Nature at a young age is not a bad idea at all. In fact, inside Cleveland Botanical Garden, they have a children’s garden that every child (young or old) will enjoy – we know that there is giant tree house there for the kids to check out!

If you are feeling a little hungry halfway through your tour in the garden, you can always have a quick bite at their Garden CafĂ© before you continue the rest of your tour. Before you leave the Cleveland Botanical Garden in the chartered bus, you may also want to pop by their gift shop as they sell gardening and non gardening items – you may want to pick one or two items there to bring home with you for your own garden.
