hahn horticulture garden | blacksburg, va



since this is my second go-round at virginia tech, i am really determined to make the most of blacksburg this time!

on our first day of class, i dragged my new fav brian to a part of campus that is usually passed by as it happens to be in the shadow of both the basketball coliseum and the football stadium. we went for an art gallery but were sort of disappointed by the few pieces that were on display. plus, what can hold a candle to the natural beauty of blacksburg???

cue crappy iPhone pix...




























































we had an amazing time, and he only got mildly annoyed when i tried really hard to capture a bee pollinating a flower (even though bees scare the crap out of me).































this garden really is a hidden gem on campus, and though it is small, it's both charming and romantic.

1 outing down and 40 to go!

VA looks so green and pretty! :) We definitely miss the grass and green trees while living out in the desert.

I'm sure! I hadn't even thought about that with desert living. It must be so odd to not have green around!
