Tuesday, a friend picked me up and we had a wander through the Diversity Gardens…

it was her first time there and I enjoyed being the tour guide, lol…

we were so busy catching up that I barely took any photos…

I did take some of a few grasses we thought might work in the garden between the cedars which might cover it a bit more of the chain link now that the neighbours have removed their planters…

from there, we drove over and walked through the English sand Leo Mol Gardens…

we spent some time relaxing on a bench by the pond and learning about Pokémon as I have just started playing again and now have my own account;-)…

thrilled…

on Friday, before my daughter left to return home to Ottawa, we went one last time to The Leaf…

we walked through the Diversity Gardens in the daylight and were happy we went early, because the temperature was rising quickly…

we checked out the Water area and were thrilled to discover water lily blooms…

then it was on to the Tropical Biome to visit the cacao trees… while there, she provided a little education for a few visitors;-)…

some of us stayed in that spot, and the rest of us checked out the other areas… we weren’t able to see the Butterfly Garden or walk on the skywalk as they were closed for the day, but it was fun to check out both biomes…

we had an early lunch at Gather, one last visit to the cacao trees and then home to nap and finish packing for the flight…

glove-free…

on Thursday we walked instead of going to aquasize…

we had breakfast at the Park Cafe where we waited a few moments before getting our table…

I had falafel eggs Benedict without the English muffin and it was very tasty…

after that, we drove over and walked around the outside of the Diversity Gardens on the road which was clear of snow and ice… we went through the Gardens as well where most of the paths were snow free… it was cold, but basically the only frozen things were our fingers, lol… particularly when I was glove-free taking photos…


we enjoyed our half hour walk and are looking forward to more such walks as the weather improves;-)…
