visit to the US

Mark,

I would add the Huntington Gardens, Libraries and Art Galleries near Los
Angeles, California.

If you are in the Chicago area, be sure to visit Boyce Tankersley at the
Chicago Botanic Gardens. In St. Louis, Missouri, there is the incomparable
Missouri Botanic Gardens.

Have a great trip!

hi all

I'm planning a visit to the US next summer. Can anyone recommend some
gardens to visit? Gardens with interesting but not just everyday plants.

Some of my favorites for neat stuff:

Strybing (San Francisco)
Desert Botanical Garden (Phoenix, AZ--in summer, wait until monsoon rains
come)
Boyce-Thompson Arboretum (near Florence, AZ--spring my favorite time)
UC Santa Cruz Arboretum (Santa Cruz, CA)
Quail Botanical Gardens (Encinitas, CA--nera San Diego)
Flagstaff Arboretum (Flagstaff, AZ)

Best wishes,
