Shangri La Botanical Gardens

Very Beautiful and serene gardens. Tucked out of the way in Orange, Texas. The gardens are in the middle of the city, but you would never know - it is absolutely gorgeous. Click below for a view….

Shangri La

Spring has Sprung

Beautiful weather, sunshine and 70 degrees - who could ask for more. We all have the itch to get into the garden now. So what are you doing? Do you have your vegetables planted? Has anything in the landscape survived the freeze? What is the status of your gardens? Let us know!

Personally, I have had tomatoes and peppers in the ground for almost 3 weeks now and they look fabulous! I can’t wait till they actually have fruit on them!

Rain, Rain and more cold weather? Is this ever going to end?

So, you thought maybe it was time to prune back all the material that had suffered from the cold spell in January…..Good thing you didn’t! It looks like we are having more cold weather today and rain to boot! With the soaking we are getting and the temperatures that are frosty, it looks like everything is going to take a while to dry out but will be ok.

How does your garden look?
