Minnesotans are hardy people who, in general, welcome the cold and snow each year. But every once in a while, even native-born Minnesotans tire of the short days, cold nights, and endless blankets of snow. But instead of huddling inside, why not go out? There’s one garden in Minnesota that is just as beautiful in winter as it is in summer. It’s the perfect winter pick-me-up. Take a look:
Normandale Japanese Garden is a beautiful spot on the grounds of Normandale Community College. The address is 9700 France Ave. S., Bloomginton, MN 55431.
In every season of the year, the garden comes alive with beauty. A lovely lagoon, beautiful trees, and walking paths provide a serene place to relax and reflect.
Next time the winter blues have you down, bundle up and take a stroll through this gorgeous Japanese garden. It's beautiful even under a blanket of snow.
