I went to the Botanical Garden in the middle of Copenhagen. I came to experience the quietness, the beautiful palm house and the exotic flowers. I ended up in a several hours long conversation with a stranger from Georgia, US.
There are no strangers here; Only friends you haven’t yet met.
– William Butler Yeats
The Botanical Garden is part of the Natural History Museum of Denmark, at the University of Copenhagen.

TO RETURN HOME
Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.
– John Muir, Our National Parks, 1901
We also have botanical garden in Lodz, i really like to visit it, especially spring 🙂
Wandering among flowers shrubs and trees that flourish are tremendously optimistic 🙂 ❤
Lovely! Ty, Hanna! 😀
Thank you, Resa ❤ x
That’s a great quote from Yeats. I shall remember that one. Oh yes, nice pictures as well, Hanna.

Hi Alen. I had to look it up to find the author and the exact wording of the quote though I remembered the main message.
It’s not hard to find motives in the Botanical Garden.
When I was a teenager I bought eight postcards with watercolour paintings of the Palm House and framed them.
The Palm House is fascinating. The white construction around the fragile glass, frames all sorts of plants and colourful flowers in the most delicate way.
Some of my best memories are of conversations with people I’ve never met before! Love those Botanical gardens, they remind me of Kew in London.
