Montreal, Botanical Gardens

Although it is the middle of winter, the Botanical Gardens of Montreal have an extensive greenhouse that keeps the plants alive and thriving. It is much larger than the botanical gardens we have in D.C. Much of the themes are the same though with a tropical area, a desert area, and having multiple beautiful orchids. Although it was freezing outside, the botanical gardens themselves were very warm.

There was a tropical plants area, ancient plants area, an area with videos about conservation, a desert plants area, an asian garden of sorts area, and lastly the butterfly exhibit. The butterfly exhibit will be on the next post because Ella and I took way too many pictures of it. Photos courtesy of Ella.
