I have been on a quest to experience new local places. A friend mentioned the WRAL Azalea Gardens and I visited this past weekend. Wow – what a hidden treasure!
If you have not yet visited, and you are in the Raleigh area, it is a must see. Small and compact, the garden is nestled right behind the WRAL studios on Western Blvd. The azaleas were in full bloom and so beautiful to walk among – or sit and gaze at from the many benches strategically placed. I am grateful to have experienced this hidden treasure!
What hidden treasures have you found recently?
Hidden Treasure
Oo, thanks Stefanie! I didn’t know about these. Have you been to the NC State Arboretum? or the rose garden? Not exactly hidden treasures but it took me a while to discover them. 🙂
Thanks Leigh, no I have not been to the Aboretum, didn’t even know about it – I’ll have to investigate. I do know where the rose garden is but have not visited yet, I will now 🙂
Hello Stefanie
The botanical gardens at UNC Chapel Hill are amazing and well worth a visit. There are trails through woods and along a stream (which are wonderful and shallow for kids to play in) right opposite. I am amazed that no one I know here seems to have been. You will love it if you haven’t discovered it already. Take a camera!
