I love whimsical gardens, and my visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden was pure delight.
Their current exhibit is called Trolls: Save the Humans by Thomas Dambo.
This was whimsy on a grand scale!
At the end of the exhibit in September, one of these giant trolls will remain as a permanent part of the Garden.
Dale Chihuly pieces from past exhibits currently grace the Garden.
Other whimsical sculptures and water features dot the landscape.
A visit with friends in Holland, MI, led to a side trip to Saugatuck, MI, a town I had never visited. It is a quaint tourist town on the banks of the Kalamazoo River. Shops and restaurants line the streets, with gardens and parks tucked in along the way.
My back yard garden is dotted with bits of whimsy–yard art and wind chimes tucked in among the flowers–so imagine my joy at discovering bits of whimsy during my travels around France. Here is a sampling.
