Having been in lockdown for most of 2020, it felt somewhat surreal to be driving on the freeway to the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne this morning. The gardens too were locked up during the worst of the pandemic, so people are now doubly appreciative of the wonderful asset that the gardens are to the city. I was delighted by the display of Lotus plants in flower, and enjoyed exploring the new Arid Garden area with its abundance of weird and wonderful cacti and succulents. Whilst we couldn't sit on the terrace to enjoy a cup of coffee as we would have done this time last year, we thoroughly enjoyed just wandering where we felt like going, and the dog seemingly enjoyed her time there too.
