Summer in Our Botanical Garden 8

Summer in our Botanical Garden 8 also called Jardin Botanique de Montréal / Montreal Botanical Garden with its many thematic gardens such as a Chinese Garden, a First Nation Garden, a Japanese Garden, a Frédéric Back Tree Pavilion and a very pleasant very long walk during what the Garden calls a Lève-Tôt entry card.

For 8$ per year, one can enter the Jardin as early as 6 a.m and profit from the tranquility and the beautiful landscapes constantly updated by "dame nature" with successive blooms and colors. I never arrive as early as 6 a.m but the time I spend walking around is always very pleasant and very relaxing.

Eventually, I start looking for a chair, a garden chair not a bench. There aren't that many, but I usually find the chair I prefer in one of the Arboretum Trails. I relax for a while, profit from the surroundings and make a list of what needs to be done during that particular day or week. I recently took pictures of many of the benches scattered around and of the one chair I found in my favorite spot.
