It has been closed last year and every time we went this year it was a little too late to go inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were able to see the cacti, orchids, palms, and other beautiful indoor dwellers. It was like revisiting old friends. Such a peaceful place to sit and breathe deeply and take in everything around you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I struggle not to take a thousand pictures every time we visit. I limited myself to just a few. Including the obligatory proof that I leave the house at times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"839\" width=\"629\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pxl_20211009_1834417456958079900442420106-768x1024.jpg?resize=629%2C839&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6275\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pxl_20211009_1834308147036619191807363038-scaled.jpg?w=629&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6276\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pxl_20211009_1837097344938463115609052664-scaled.jpg?w=629&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6277\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/peroty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pxl_20211009_1837544882181998862906849569-scaled.jpg?w=629&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6278\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brookside Gardens will always be a special place.
