The Garden Party Rocks On

After homeschool this morning, we went on a field trip. We took the bus into Newcastle-Under-Lyme and then transferred over to the 99 bus to Biddulph (aren't we just the locals?). Then we grabbed a short cab to the Biddulph Grange Gardens. It was a home in the mid 1800s where a fellow named James Bateman blew his family's fortune on beautiful gardens and a fossil museum. There is a section devoted to China and another to Egypt, and he had folks bring him floral specimens from all over the world that he added to his collection.

Check out the pictures of this place, it was really beautiful, especially after the sun came out this afternoon!
