le jardin botanique (botanical garden)

One of things I love most about Switzerland is their use of flowers. As I said before, there are large pots of flowers on every corner and median. Many people place boxes of flowers in their apartment windows. It makes the town incredibly beautiful and colorful. In our small town of Porrentruy, there is a wonderful botanical garden. This garden is over 200 years old and has hundreds of different plants and flowers. Since I am obsessed with flowers, I absolutely love it! I often walk here while Todd is at practice to read, pray, and reflet. The garden has a magical atmosphere. There is a really great bench that has a view over all of Porrentruy. Todd is going back to his roots with the marigolds!
