Going to Anderson Gardens

One of Rockford's nicest places to go is Anderson Gardens. We love Khlem Arboretum and Nicholas Conservatory, so we don't go to Anderson Gardens often. BUT we should. I had the pleasure of doing their Tuesday night live music in the gardens last week. It was FANTASTIC! 

I cannot stress how wonderful that evening was. One of the owners of the Gardens was coming around offering up bags of fish food. We were able to feed the fish, the ducks, and even turtles that habitate the Gardens. No matter how old I get, I will always enjoy slowing down and just enjoying nature. We were laughing just watching the ducks and the fish fighting for the food. 

In regards to everything else, it was all great. The live music was entertaining. It was great to see kids running around and enjoying music and playing, just being carefree. There were many food choices. Even the drink choices were extensive. 

For anyone who enjoys the peace of the outdoors, I would recommend this spot. I have no idea what plants I am looking at, but I don't care. The impeccable Gardens, koi ponds, waterfalls, and pathways are great to look at and enjoy. You don't have to be able to identify anything to enjoy your time. If you want music and entertainment, go on a Tuesday!
