9 of the Biggest Botanic Gardens to Visit in the U.S.

[Michie]

If there’s anything people have learned to love a little extra during the pandemic, it’s spending time in nature. One of the best ways to get up close and personal with eye-catching natural creations is visiting botanic gardens, which are essentially living museums for plants.


Per Botanic Gardens Conservation International, “Botanic gardens are institutions holding documented collections of living plants for the purpose of scientific research, conservation, display, and education.” Through a botanic garden’s collection, you can often be transported anywhere in the world, learning about the flora from regions far away from your own, or you can do a deep dive into the wonderful plant life that’s native to your area.


If you’re really looking to lose yourself among the flowers, how about visiting one of the largest botanic gardens in the United States? Sprawling across hundreds of acres, these nine massive botanic gardens are the perfect place to take a long stroll — and maybe snap an Instagram or two.

Maybe not among the biggest but among the most beautiful is this spot in little Elmore, Ohio: Schedel Arboretum and Gardens

When you finish up at the gardens you can drive just up the road and buy some quality fresh meats, bologna, bacon, and landjaeger at Tank's Meats.
