Welcome to my adventure part 1. I will be posting several posts over the next few days that feature a beautiful 62 acre botanical garden. There were several different parts of the place and I did walk the entire 62 acres. Only a few flowers were in bloom tho at this time of year so we will revisit in the spring / summer when things are really blooming. 

Today I am going to take you to the Bamboo Garden. It is more like a "Bamboo Forest". This place offers a tranquil spot to reflect on life. So follow me as we start our journey!

This isn't in the Bamboo Garden itself but it is along the way to it. There is irony here. It say's not to carve into the bamboo, yet people have carved into the bamboo.

After walking past the herb garden we finally make it to the entrance. To be honest I have no clue what this sign says!

I like the fact they painted this bridge red like this. It gives it just a bit of a pop to a surreal green scene. Do you like it?

As we walt the pathway you will notice there is bamboo everywhere! It topples over eachother and making a cover over head. I really like when trees or plants do this.

Up the path a bit if we look to our right there is this log and a Buddah statue on it. I am not too sure I really like the placement of this. It does seem to throw the feng shui off a bit to be honest. 

![PicsArt_01-27-09.03.22.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1517063563/ahggdj6yi1ivglro7vh2.jpg)
Continuing to walk a few more feet and still looking to the right there is a small area with a bench and another Buddah. This seems to be place correctly. There is a sign not featured here that says stay on path. I am going to assume they don't want you to sit behind the Buddah.

This is the bamboo selection behind the Buddah statue in the previous photo. You can see it is growing everywhere!

Continuing to walk to the exit, looking to our left we see this! Another statue. I do like the placement of this one!

And Finally

We have made it through the Bamboo Garden. I wonder what direction we will go next! Follow me so you can see where our next garden adventure takes us!
