Day 3-Site Tour

Woke up bright and early, had a great breakfast. We went on a grounds tour, learned the history of this location. It was established by the Wilson's they brought in native and foreign plants to form a botanical gardens. It is a rich lush and well manicured landscape. There is a succulent garden section which brought forth question of how is this possible in this wet and humid environment? Well gravel soil was mixed into the existing soil and the location is on the south facing slope. Which helps with the sun light and drainage. There were massive bamboo trees. Just everything is absolutely stunning. We experienced some down pores of rain today which was not a problem because the external temperatures are in the 70's. I love it here it is remote and secluded. The kitchen sets out fruit for the birds here, they are bright and exotic.
