David and I went to Canandaigua today to witness the "Arts in the Garden" festival at the Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion. It is an annual event which shocases the best works of arts in Rochester and other parts of the US. There was a $5 fee at the entrace.
The Sonnenberg mansion is a state historic park. There are about eight main gardens in the property, mainly:
1. Japanese garden
2. Rose garden
3. Italian garden
4. Blue and White garden
5. Pansy garden
6. Moonlight garden
7. Old-Fashioned garden
8. Rock garden which is composed of the rock garden, wild garden and the lily garden
I like the Japanese garden the best, but I was thrilled to see a cacti conservatory. There was a section devoted to orchids and tropical plants too in the conservatory.
oh, we also did wine tasting.
Later, we dined at the Lumberyard restaurant. I had Chipolte Pasta and Vegetables while David had Chicken Parmesan.
By the way, school opens on Monday. Sigh.
