A Sunny, Summer Afternoon @: Luthy Botanical Garden

by MBIP


One place I’ve driven by a bazillion times is The Luthy Botanical Garden and I’ve never stopped in and taken a look around.

Today, all of that changes as we aim the MBIP Mobile down Prospect Road straight into…

Luthy Botanical Garden.

I’ve driven by this sign so many times, but today we pull into the parking lot and…

We enter right over here in this building.

I walked in and there’s a little gift shop in here and three people were standing around a cash register talking and acted like I hadn’t even walked in. They just completely ignored me.

I resisted the urge to get all Fatal Attraction on their asses and just headed outside to the garden area on this fine sunny, summer day. Sheesh!

Wow, it’s really nice out here and very peaceful as you wander around in the green gardens.

There’s a building over here and I went over to check it out, but the door was locked and it was empty inside. Elton Johnny flashback time!

Here’s a nice area wtih a little girl reading a book. Upon further inspection, she’s not really reading anything…that’s a little disappointing, let’s just keep moving along here.

There’s a treehouse and a bunny that doesn’t seem to realize there’s three giant carrots behind him!

And there’s a swing and a bench…play ball!

Hello there, goofy tin man!

There’s a picnic area and more greenery over here.

This was a nice pleasant afternoon in the greenery of the Luthy Botanical Garden.

There’s no admission charge here, but I left a five dollar donation in this box here on my way out.

I probably would’ve left a ten or a twenty if they would’ve at least acknowledged my presence when I walked in…

And of course that leads us to this final Fatal Attraction moment in time!

See you all tomorrow!
