Nearing the end of our hike there was an old well.

I’m assuming it had some connection to the old piggery we’d passed.

The arboretum hosts guest lecturers and holds classes on various nature related topics throughout the year and as you would guess…

They usually take place outside.

Though this spot didn’t look like it’s seen any action in a while.

I’ve been told this is the most popular section of the park.

And is a favorite for wedding photographs, though to be honest I didn’t find it very impressive.

The lily of the valley were nice, but heck… my hostas are more impressive than anything they had.
To he continued…

River's world..... 
Honestly, I’ve never been a hostas a fan. My mom has some underneath the birches because they tend to do well in shadier areas, but I can take them or leave them… They fill some holes in areas where nothing else would grow.
But your forest looks so beautiful, peaceful, quiet.

I like certain hostas and have the variegated varieties planted in between shrubs…. but I wouldn’t want a whole garden of them.

Of course your garden would be more impressive regarding the hostas, lol. Wow I’d could roam around that place forever. Being a Southwest Texas girl and working New Mexico the greenery is sparse around here. But I suppose it makes up for it with cows 🐄

Much as I loved Sedona I don’t think I could live without my green spaces.

Sedona is nice, but that isn’t exactly what the Southwest of Texas looks like. It’s just…..dry, very, very dry…hot 🤯

I didn’t like Phoenix… and yes I understand Sedona is a different animal.
