Over the Easter Break, I visited the North Carolina Arboretum in Asheville. The Arboretum is 434 acres that have 65 acres of cultivated gardens and 10 miles of hiking/ biking trails. There are many different exhibits at the Arboretum, and my favorite was the bonsai collection. Every plant was a piece of artwork that really gave you some insight into a fascinating culture. Because of this exhibit and the educational programs associated with the collection, the Arboretum has become the center for bonsai activity in the Southeast. The Exhibition was built in 2005 from strictly private donations.
In addition to this beautiful collection, there are miles of trails and many different rivers which run through the area. It was a lot of fun walking on the several different nature trails which were pretty secluded. There were many different flower beds in full bloom. My favorite picture was of me in the middle of thousands of poppies.
