Before our class field trip, I had never been the Arboretum or even had any idea what an Arboretum was. Penn State offers a wide variety of small gardens and other nature affiliated areas throughout the campus, but the Arboretum blows them all out of the water. Being my first time visiting, I was in awe at the vast amount of beautiful flowers and plants that were in the garden. The great assortment and variety of different flowers made the garden more radiant than anything I have ever seen. The collection of vibrant flowers created a sea of color, and seemed to make the garden glow. I have never seen such brightly pigmented flowers, especially all grouped together in one place. It also shocked me to see that a good amount of the flowers were still bloomed and fully alive. With the way the weather has been, not to mention the hail storm we had a few weeks ago, it surprised me to find how well intact the garden seemed to still be in.

Beautiful post, it truly spoke to me Eddy! I pretty much agree with everything you said in the post, The Arboretum is definitely a one time deal IMO.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with what you wrote! I enjoy your description of the Arboretum and think that your use of imagery is very effective in putting together a clear picture :)

I love your title. It made me laugh as soon as I saw. I agree one-hundred percent that that was the same thing I got out of the trip. Flowers, Flowers, and more flowers. Although it definitely would be beautiful and relaxing to hangout there in the spring or something, but it was just a bunch of flowers.
