Botanical For Life
02 Jan 2024 - Steve NelsonOur first day in Iowa consisted of going to Brueggar’s Bagels, a shopping mall, the Volvo store, the Botanical Garden, and dinner at Cool Basil.
First we went to the Jordan Creek shopping mall, which is a large, successful mall that has apparently contributed to the closing of other malls in the area.
Camilla danced a bit in The Gap.
Camilla danced a lot in Barnes and Noble.
After meeting Lori for lunch at Brueggar’s Bagels, we took a detour to the Volvo store because a Check Engine Emission light lit up on the dash on our way to the Des Moines Botanical Garden.
At the garden, we were on the hunt for 50 gnomes and other items on the scavenger hunt list.
At the entrance of the garden was a Living Wall with about two-thousand plants.
