City of Kingston Greenhouse 2016

This past Sunday hubby and I took our annual pilgrimage to the city's greenhouse.  Every year, for a few Sundays, the city opens their greenhouse so the public can get a glimpse of spring during the doldrums of winter.


This year the dates are Feb 14, 21, 28, and March 6 and 13.  It's only open for 2 hours on these afternoons (from 2 til 4) but it's well worth going.  The greenhouse is located at 111 Norman Rogers Dr.


I took some photos this year.  It was quite busy during our visit - there was a photography group there and everyone was busily trying to capture the beauty of all the plants and flowers.  And there's something to be said about the air inside a greenhouse.  It just smells like plants - fresh, alive, and energizing.

After our visit I felt refreshed.  Funny how oxygenated air will do that to a person!  I think we'll take the kids next weekend so I can see the fabulous flowers again.  This is one of my favourite things to do around town in the late winter.  It truly helps me imagine that spring is on its way!
