At an earlier time, all I wanted was a tree fort from which I could lead an imaginary army into battle. My father set out to build one and even though we didn’t get beyond a little platform wedged in the fork of an oak tree, it was perfect. What it lacked in the way of a roof, walls or any sort of safety railing it made up for in its rugged simplicity.

I hope one day soon I have a reason to return.

Here are a few more images from the Botanical Garden that encapsulate what I love about spaces like this. There is an inherent absurdity to labeling, shaping and cordoning what is in fact ungovernable that makes these images amusing to me.

Each is more beautifully manicured than the last with sweeping landscaping and lawns perfectly trimmed. For all intents and purposes each one could be an arboretum with every plant variety meticulously marked for identification. It is all so orderly and comprehensive, but perfection is only one side of the coin.
