We went to Wenatchee for Kacey's high school graduation... we had a little time and Heidi suggested we visit Ohme Gardens - had never done that. When we got there we figured out why we hadn't - $8.00 each - Dad was reluctant but I told him I was going in and he could wait for me! He decided to come with me. Here is a stump near a spring and it has been giving water for years! pretty good also.
Dad didn't!! I took a picture of the patch - didn't want to purchase it!
I could be honest and say I messed up the camera shot - - but then I could say I was trying to take a picture of the pretty flowers at Dad's feet!!
Set the timer on a flat rock - boy we are getting old!
One of the many fireplaces - the Ohme family purchased the land - thinking they would build a house ... then the depression hit and banks were not lending money for houses - - so they decided to work on the yard. They drove to the mountains and brought back trees, ferns, etc. and planted them. They had to haul water up the hill from the Columbia River!
Dad on a stone bench - several though out the gardens - ponds were dug so their kids could have a swimming hole!
Took pictures of a couple post cards - It is a pretty place - visit when you can.
Heidi said they had several weddings up there - I can see why - cool and pretty!
