January is a good month for a road trip. I was just in Montreal and I found winter gardening heaven.ֲ The Montrֳ©al Botanical Garden, the second largest horticultural garden in the world, is just a short hop over the border into Canada.
The botanical gardens has 10 exhibition greenhouses are lush with plants–about 36,000–representing natives of the tropics, the desert, and other environments. And don’t forget to visit the nearby Biodֳ´me, which features the plants and animals of four very diverse ecosystems.
