The Secret Garden Hike In Kansas Will Make You Feel Like You’re In A Fairytale
When’s the last time that you’ve spent an entire day surrounded by beautiful nature? This arboretum in small town Kansas is the perfect way to get outside and enjoy the outdoors in a controlled way. Plus, you’ve got the benefit of seeing something put together through years of hard work. Have you ever visited this beautiful arboretum for a garden hike before? It’s certainly worthy of a place in your bucket list!
Welcome to the beautiful Bartlett Arboretum, where visitors have been taking hikes through the garden since the land was first bought in 1910.
Of course trees take a while to grow, so they didn't see the final beauty that the garden achieved. However, this place has a history that you can feel in every step on their pathways.
As for living in a fairytale, all you have to do is look around you to see the wonders through the trees. Canopies cover some areas of pathways, and through windows of leaves you'll spot little statues, hidden cottages, and more.
There are also a few areas where children can be a little adventurous and silly. Mini houses make them feel like they're surrounded by miles of magical forest.
You’ll find the beautiful Bartlett Arboretum at 301 N Line St., Belle Plaine, KS. Bartlett Arboretum is open to visitors for a small donation, and their hours are listed as “Open by accident or by appointment for our Tree House Concerts.” For more information about the garden, check out their website.
Of course, if you prefer your amazing nature experiences less path-oriented, you’ll love these wetlands in Kansas with plenty of space to explore.
