🌿 Houston's Secret Garden of Eden 🎨 | Mercer Botanic Gardens

Spring has sprung at Mercer Botanic Garden & Arboretum 🌸! This European-style oasis is a floral fantasyland—vintage statues peek through blooming roses 🌹, and every corner feels like a Monet painting 🖼️. Bonus: All plants are labeled (perfect for mini botanists!) . Watch butterflies dance through sunbeams 🦋✨—pure serenity! But wait, there’s more! 🌳 Across the street hides a tranquil wetland paradise (search “Mercer Arboretum” on Google Maps 🗺️). Hike under bridges 🌉, follow trails, and grab a Park Map to hit highlights: The Oxbow & Bald Cypress Swamp: Tiny but mighty —primal peace awaits! Hickory Bog Boardwalk: Spot orchids in the mist 🌸! Storey Lake: Next time! 🚣 (Ran out of daylight ) ⚠️ Pro Tip: Wetlands = hiking required 🚶♀️. Not “grand canyon” vibes, but perfect for raw nature lovers 🌱. Where else can you go from posing like a Renaissance model 👗📸 to Wetland exploration in 10 mins? 🌍💚 📍 Address: Mercer Botanic Garden & Arboretum ⏰ Hours: 8 AM – 7 PM 🎫 Price: Free! 💸 #HoustonParks #WeekendGetaway #NaturePhotography #WetlandWonders 🦢🌾
