Caught the local bus to visit the Glacier Gardens. I wasn't sure what to expect but we were not disappointed.
The area consists of about 27 acres and is the vision of one person. He originally began the project due to constant mudslides damaging buildings below and he wanted to change the structure to prevent ongoing damage. Once he got started he couldn't stop and the result is the beautiful glacier gardens.
I was particularly taken by the "up side down" trees. He has used fallen trees
Put them in the ground with the roots on top then filled with moss and dirt, put some webbing over it to stop the dirt falling out then planted flowers . It looks amazing.
I am having so much trouble loading the photos that I have decided to give them a miss until I can get better internet access, as it is I am a behind on my posts so I think it is more important to keep up to date.
A couple of interesting facts about Grizzly Bears, they eat stones prior to hibernation, this helps to "bind" them while in hibernation. Then once they wake from the big sleep they eat dandilyons to assist with getting the system going again. Also, they are not natural hibernates, therefore they walk up a couple of times a day to stretch.
