Noosa Botanics 2

A few weeks back I went to Noosa Botanical Gardens to take pictures of my new painting series (you can spy a sneaky shot in this mix below).  The paintings were so heavy to carry that I ended up only taking a few shots before spending the rest of my time taking photos of all the beautiful plants!! :) :)

The one shot I did get :P You can check out all my paintings on my other site - over here!

A great way to spend a couple of hours :)

Maleny Botanical Gardens

Okay this post is going to be long because me and botanical gardens = too many plant photos.
Let the visual feast begin!

The lovely Ben who got me loving the plants :)

They allow for pets on leads at the Maleny Botanical Gardens well officially dogs but I'm sure that can be interpreted to mean any pet on a leash :) You can also spy Ben carrying Gremlin's pet backpack - it was here we realised he could open the velcro closure :P

Despite it being Winter there was still a lot of plants and flowers (yay!) to see.  Admission to Maleny Botanical Gardens costs $16 an adult which was probably $10 to much (though it will depend on how much you love gardens).  You can also buy a ticket for $26 which includes a visit to their aviary but us cheapskates just went the botanical route :P Despite the high-ish entry cost, it was still a fun hour and I imagine if you bought a picnic you could even stretch it out to two!
