| University of Oxford Botanic Garden |
Friends-
The University of Oxford Botanic Garden is over 380 years old and is the oldest botanical garden in Britain. Not only that, but it contains more than 7,000 different types of plants, making it the most diverse collection of plants in the world.
The garden is very pretty with colorful flowers throughout (even now in October). Typically, English Gardens are known for their gentle, sweeping beauty and represent an idealized view of nature. At the University of Oxford Botanic Garden, they are also working to better understand the way plants are related to one another, help with plant conservation, and make sure researchers have access to plants that may one day be turned into medicine.

Dear Alexa,
ReplyDeleteThis garden is so beautiful. You are as pretty as a flower garden , too. I know that your Great Grandmother would be so happy that you are able to enjoy its grandeur.
Love,

Alexa,
ReplyDeleteI am delighted to see that the gardens are blooming in the middle of October. Were you able to choose a favorite plant or flower?
I can't wait to see your next post.
Hugs,

Hi Aunt Shannon,

Hi Alexa -
ReplyDeleteOur whole class went on a hike on the Kachina Trail today. We got to climb and climb and climb! Everyone said how much they missed you. It looks like you're having a great time in London, though.
Ask your mom if she is learning how to make scones.
We had ten people play horses during recess yesterday!
See you next week. Your friend,
Madeline (and family)
