The most amazing screen door in the world can be found at Tizer Botanic Gardens & Arboretum. The gardens, located along Prickly Pear Creek in the Elkhorn Mountains near Jefferson City, Montana, feature nearly every flower and tree capable of growing in our region of the Rocky Mountains. The screen door can be found amid the willow, birch, and maple alongside the creek. Opening the door and walking through takes you from one beautiful outdoor space to another.
Yesterday, Desiree and I spent
a couple hours touring the gardens with our good friends Tom and Pattie Russ. Walking through the screen door, proved only the
beginning of a lovely walk through a six-acre flourish of greenery and flowers.
Early on, a friendly black cat
joined us and remained with us for much of our tour along the running waters
and into the deepest forest. Tizer also features
a series of open gardens with sun-loving flowers and bushes. In all, we spent something near two hours at
the gardens. We finished by purchasing
an armload of green specimens to take home for ourselves.
Thanks for everything Tom and
Patti!
