点评:As someone who appreciates the beauty of the Lincoln Park Conservatory and the Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago, I always find time to visit botanical gardens in other cities. Like the Memphis Botanical Garden. Located at 750 Cherry Road, in Audubon Park, this 96-acre botanical garden contains 23 specialty gardens, including a garden for kids, called "My Big Backyard." Founded in 1953, it is open to the public daily from 9 to 6. Among the gardens of note are Rose Garden with 75 varieties of roses, the Herb Garden with over 800 types of herbs, the Tropical Plant House, the Butterfly Garden, the Conifer Collection with many dwarf conifer varieties, he Japanese Garden and the Tennessee Bicentennial Iris Garden, which contains hundreds of bearded Irises and other Iris types from Louisiana, Japan, Siberia and Spuria. Perhaps the most popular attraction in Memphis Botanic Garden is the internationally recognized Hosta Trail. Started in 1999, it features 250 hosta varieties of plants, including azaleas, ferns, sedums and heucheras, with five main beds all connected via a stone pathway.
