Botanical Gardens

One of my favorite hangout when I was growing up is climbing the mango tree near the river. We live in a farm where we have our own river. I can say that it's our own river because that river is by my parents land . That river helps water my parents rice field and other vegitations. And I really miss that place. I miss being in the place where you are sorrounding with natures. Everything is fresh, the air , the fruits and vegetables.

Now that I am in the US, I have not really enjoy being sorrounded with the beauty of nature as I used to . Until I found this website Shangri La Gardens and Nature Center . Shangri La Gardens and Nature Center is located in Orange Texas. This formal Botanical Gardens contains more than 300 plant species in five five formal rooms as well as four sculptur rooms. Adjacent to the Botanical Garden is a bird blind which allows the visitors to observe nesting birds in Shangri La's heronry.

I have not really been to Texas, but I am really hoping that one day me and my husband could travel there. And I know one thing for sure, we are going to visit Shangri La Gardens and Nature Center. This place is not only a very awesome place. Shangri La Gardens and Nature Center is the first project in Texas and the 50th project in the world to earn the US GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL'S PLATINUM FOR LEED®-NC , as well as the echo friendly nature and history of Shagri La Gardens in Orange Texas. Reading this review gives me more motivation to go visit this place one of these days. I think it's really exciting to go visit this place. I can't wait to see the different kinds of birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, spiders. ( I used to play spiders when I was growing up ) . And most of all to see the different kinds of plants and flowers .

So next time you're in Texas, why don't you visit Orange City, home of the Shangri La Gardens and Nature Center. And enjoy the beauty of nature.
