While in Paris we had a chance to spend two days visiting the Jardin Des Plantes, which are these incredible gardens that also house a handful of museums, a zoo and a few greenhouses. The above and below snaps were taken from inside the tropical greenhouse.
There was a pretty desert room that reminded me of home. Ida knew most of the plant names in here — from Euphorbia to Agave ;).
There was also a carousel where Ida went ‘alone’ on the carousel for the first time (#BoldMoves!).
There was also an Iris garden that made me rethink my luke-warm feelings about Irises. How crazy amazing are those color combos?
As you can see, Ida fell in love with them too.
Very much loved the look (and color) of the greenhouses. Made me want to paint all of my window trims in these minty green hues.
We also went inside the zoo, the natural history museum, and I missed the botanical museum by just a few minutes (I wanted to cry) but the amazing grounds made up for it. The entrance to the Iris garden was so pretty that I already started discussing the idea of a vow renewal ceremony there–in about six years. Ha! If you’re in Paris, the Jardin Des Plantes is worth dedicating at least a day to — pack a picnic.
