Earth Day is Coming this Weekend
It is time to honor Mother Nature and celebrate the wonderful planet we live on.
One way to renew your appreciation for our natural resources is to visit some of nature’s finest displays. We suggest you take a trip this weekend to one of New York’s many botanical gardens or public gardens. Locally here in Saratoga Springs we have the Yaddo Gardens, a 400 acre estate that is open to the public 7 days a week.
If you are open to a day trip there are many more options to choose from. Here is a list of some of the most popular gardens in New York:
