A Perfect Place - The SL Botanical Gardens

Sometimes you put on an outfit and immediately start trying to think of places where it would be set off to perfection. Other times, you are going to a place and an outfit immediately comes to mind. In this case, it was both. If you haven't been to the SL Botanical Gardens, you have missed one of the most breathtaking sims in SL. The gardens are a collaborative artistic effort and every area of the sim has something special to make it a delight to walk through (or fly, but I recommend walking the many paths to truly experience all the details).

Sit for a while in the formal gardens, visit the green house, swim under the waterfalls or just sit and enjoy the scenery at any point along the way. Take your time and plan to return - it's not a sim that you can "do" in an hour or so. Oh, and don't forget to take pictures - lots of pictures. The gardens were one of the first places I went in SL and I was inspired to go back there when I put on Paeoti Dapon's Dementia Sancuary Ceremony Dress from Nymphetamine and wanted the perfect setting for some photos.

Put on your favorite clothes (jeans will do just as well as a ballgown), grab a friend and head out to The SL Botanical Gardens for a sunrise walk or or a sunset chat in one of the most beautiful locations in Second Life.
