        <![CDATA[
        World-class botanical gardens includes cactus garden, Australian garden, Japanese garden, roses, herbs, Shakespeare garden and much more. Chinese garden coming soon! The tearoom (reservations recommended) is wonderful, though not as charming as it was before Sodexho took it over. (My advice: Dim the lights! Put some music on!) Great art collection, library (for scholars) and gift shop. A wonderful way to spend a relaxing day. Visiting this convinced me that Southern California was actually a pretty place the first time I saw it over 20 years ago. Don't miss the new Children's Garden, even if you don't have kids. It's full of whimsical plants and water creations.<br/>Tags: gardens, children, roses, garden, japanese, gifts, kid, bookstore, museum, tea, chinese, cafe, art, kids, books, restaurants, restaurant, museums, botanical, cactus, pasadena, san marino, cacti, australian, tearoom, giftshop, childrens<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/60934">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Lacy Park, San Marino</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        This is the best public park I've ever been to, period. It's small enough to let kids run wild without worrying about whether they'll ever return, but peaceful enough to feel instant relaxation. There's a wide path for bikes, scooters, etc. that surrounds a hugh manicured field. It's like having a Huntington Gardens you can play in! There's also a nice playground, tennis courts, and a small rose garden. Great place for a picnic, and in the summer there's a concert series. Warning: there's a fee for non-residents on the weekend. Also, parking can be a little tough, but it's worth it! Perfect for all ages.<br/>Tags: gardens, walking, biking, running, relax, tennis, baseball, park, playground, fun, parks, places, recreation, lawn, pasadena, san marino<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/60939">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Turtle Rock Trail</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        This is a lovely walk through what feels like shaded woodland glens and then a park-like section lined with homes with colorful gardens and fanciful bird houses. The park's stream and rustic look makes it a romantic walk.

<title>The Royal Parks</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Every year, London's eight Royal Parks host millions of Londoners and tourists. The parks, which cover a total of five thousand acres, are: Bushy Park, The Green Park, Greenwich Park, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, The Regent's Park, Richmond Park, and St. James Park.

The Royal Parks are home to a menagerie of historical locales, architecture, statues and memorials, as well as extensive gardens, parkland, sports areas and entertainment venues. Diversity of uses within the parks encourages patronage by a wide variety of park-goers, from picnickers and walkers to scholars and travelers. And because there is an active effort to preserve the parks and their amenities, future generations will have the opportunity to enjoy them, as well.

The Royal Parks are open to anyone and everyone at no cost. Known as "London's Personal Space," the Royal Parks offer respite and relaxation in the heart of one of the Western world's oldest cities.<br/>Tags: gardens, memorial, historic, statues, the royal parks, londons personal space<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/84238">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>The Hanging Gardens of Babylon</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        A history lesson from USF:

The approach to the Garden sloped like a hillside and the several parts of the structure rose from one another tier on tier... On all this, the earth had been piled... and was thickly planted with trees of every kind that, by their great size and other charm, gave pleasure to the beholder... The water machines [raised] the water in great abundance from the river, although no one outside could see it.

Diodorus Siculus

Fruits and flowers... Waterfalls... Gardens hanging from the palace terraces... Exotic animals... This is the picture of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in most people's minds. It may be surprising to know that they might have never existed except in the minds of Greek poets and historians!
Location

On the east bank of the River Euphrates, about 50 km south of Baghdad, Iraq.
History

The Babylonian kingdom flourished under the rule of the famous King, Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC). It was not until the reign of Naboplashar (625-605 BC) of the Neo-Babylonian dynasty that the Mesopotamian civilization reached its ultimate glory. His son, Nebuchadnezzar II (604-562 BC) is credited for building the legendary Hanging Gardens. It is said that the Gardens were built by Nebuchadnezzar to please his wife or concubine who had been "brought up in Media and had a passion for mountain surroundings".

While the most descriptive accounts of the Gardens come from Greek historians such as Berossus and Diodorus Siculus, Babylonian records stay silent on the matter. Tablets from the time of Nebuchadnezzar do not have a single reference to the Hanging Gardens, although descriptions of his palace, the city of Babylon, and the walls are found. Even the historians who give detailed descriptions of the Hanging Gardens never saw them. Modern historians argue that when Alexander's soldiers reached the fertile land of Mesopotamia and saw Babylon, they were impressed. When they later returned to their rugged homeland, they had stories to tell about the ama<br/>Tags: gardens, hanging, world, history, wonders, ancient, seven, lesson, babylon<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/32488">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Butchart Gardens - Overcrowded, but Beautiful</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        While packed with swarms of pushy tourists and tour buses, and overrated by all the guidebooks and tourist propaganda, the Butchart Gardens are still interesting and beautiful to wander. If you have an interest in photography or gardening, then this is a must-see. I lost my husband to his camera for 3 hours. While I longed for a romantic walk together through the lush rose arbors and tranquil Japanese garden, his camera was permanently afixed to his face. To avoid the hassle of renting a car and dealing with parking, take the Gray Line bus shuttle from Victoria's bus station, near the Empress Hotel. Also pack your nerves - the hordes of older tourists blocking the paths and views will take some of the magic away from your experience. Avoid weekends!<br/>Tags: photography, gardens, victoria, british columbia, gardening, Butchart Gardens<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/4716072">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>De Hoge Veluwe Park</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        De Hoge Veluwe National Park is a huge public space formerly owned by the influential Kroller-Muller family. Park goers traverse the park on white bicycles, which are owned by the park’s management and "rented" to the patrons at no charge. At points throughout De Hoge Veluwe, there are stations where people can drop off and pick up bicycles to ride around the park. One of De Hoge Veluwe's greatest assets is its art collection, housed in the Kroller-Muller Museum. The museum, and the adjoining sculpture garden, comprises a stunning compilation of great works of art, including an expansive collection of impressionist paintings. <br/>Tags: gardens, museum, art, bikes, parks, de hoge veluwe park, holland, i heart holland, tulips and bikes<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/84442">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>The Sensory Garden</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        By Karen Matheis

One Saturday morning, I happened to take a different route on a morning run. I noticed a quaint and tidy little garden off to the side of Audio Reader that I hadn't ever seen. What an interesting find.

The garden is not very large, but contains many different types of plants that are labeled to include Braille. Although all can enjoy the garden, it is designed for non-seeing and non-hearing people in mind. Visitors can feel the textures of the plants that are near a hand's touch and hear or feel the wind chimes that have different tones.

<title>Sedate and British Victoria</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The second stop on our honeymoon. Victoria surprised my husband. I have been here many times, and it was a delight to see the city through his eyes. A visit here slows life down and melts away the stress. The museums are engaging, the gardens are exquisite escapes from the crowds (unless you visit the Butchart!), and the local bus drivers are the friendliest we've ever met! As long as you escape the throngs on Government Street, you will come away relaxed and wanting more.<br/>Tags: gardens, British Columbia, Victoria, Vancouver Island<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/4710753">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        <![CDATA[
        We spent all afternoon at the annual gay pride parade, so by the time we got to Chinatown, most sites were closed, including this classical Chinese garden. Like furtive little children, we peaked through the gate and got a glimpse of a lush and balanced world. Definately check this garden out, just pay better attention to the time than we did!<br/>Tags: vancouver, gardens, chinatown, chinese garden<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/4769722">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>The UH Japanese Gardens</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The University had a really nice little Japanese garden behind the East-West Center that I liked to go and sit in when I needed quiet time, or when there was a new issue of David Mack's comic series KABUKI to read.
