If you were wondering why I didn’t post any new information last week, I want you to know that it was because I spent that week in Poconos, PA with my grandkids. So this week I will try to catch up by posting two articles and of course there is no surprise that both of them are about places in Pennsylvania.
The first place is Hershey Gardens.
Most people go to Hershey, PA to visit Hershey Park and Chocolate factory, but I want to invite you to Hershey Garden (http://www.hersheygardens.org/) - a must visit place if you go to Hershey World (??). A natural wonder, with
meticulously maintained plants from all around the world, Hershey Garden provides welcome relief from the noise and traffic of Hershey. And where else can you see a Sequoia tree in the east? By the way, this year the Gardens celebrate 75th anniversary. As you wander throughout the Gardens, be sure to explore all 11 distinct theme gardens. My favorite is the Japanese Garden, where you can enjoy the relaxing sound of a peaceful stream and tranquil reflective pond with different kind of colorful fishes.
The Children Garden with its Butterfly House is another place not to be missed.
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking required, although there are benches scattered throughout to take a break.
Hershey Garden’s address is 170 Hotel Road, Hershey, PA 17033.
It is opened till late October and on selected days in November and December, closed January through March. To see the hours of operation go to http://www.hersheygardens.org/plan_your_visit/hours.php.
I hope you enjoy this place as much as we did!
