Friends of Manito — Attraction in Spokane

Any time of year this place is the bomb. I love hanging out in the greenhouse in the winter..so toasty and the flowers and citrus trees lift the winter spirits! Fall is awesome in the Japanese gardens and the rose gardens are beautiful in the summer. Lilac gardens are awsome in the spring...there's something for every season. Plenty of fat squirrels to keep you smiling and entertained and most the people that walk and play here are decent people. Smiling vibes from most. I drive an hour just to come to this...

Manito Park is the gem of Spokane. Where else can you experience Traditional Victorian and Japanese Gardens, a formal Rose Garden with a majestic gazebo and Pergela to shade you as you take in its fragrances. Walk across to the gorgeous hues of the perennial and butterfly garden. Sit beside ponds of Koi and turtles and acres of trees, trails and playgrounds abound. I can't say enough about it's beauty or the sense of community this treasure...

It's February and the only place at the park in bloom is the conservatory... But my, oh my... It's worth the walk through. Absolutely stunning orchids! Includes, but not limited to, interesting tropical plants, palms and cacti. If you're yearning for the sight of flowers, or just need a reminder of what Spring and Summer will bring, go ahead and breath it all in! Inspiration and Peace at it's finest! Can't wait to see the outdoor gardens...
