Itinerary:

Join my family and our dog Pal as we explore the RBG. At this time of year, there is still lots to see at the Royal Botanical Gardens. There are birds to see and possibly feed, gardens to explore, and of course the indoor Centre.

We'll start at the RBG Centre and spend some time in the Discovery Gardens, and surrounds. We'll then cross over to Hendrie park for a walk through the boardwalk and marsh, and give everyone a chance to take pictures there. If we have time and are still inclined, we'll go to the Arboretum, and follow some of the trails around Coote's Paradise.

Please note that this will be a family event - this will not be a fast-paced event. This event will run rain or shine. Be prepared to relax, be easy-going, and enjoy! :)

On the way home we'll stop at Lick's in Oakville for some Ice Cream or other treats.
