Flora to fawn over - Tizer Botanic Gardens and Arboretum in Jefferson City, Montana
| June 16, 2008 |  View for printing |
Take two novice gardeners, plant them at 5,000 feet, give them a growing season with fewer than 65 consecutive frost-free days. Oh yes, and throw in a lot of hungry deer and elk.
What looks like a recipe for failure grew into a surprising success story.
From an accidental beginning grew an enchanting series of gardens, the Tizer Botanic Gardens and Arboretum http://www.tizergardens.com/ , where more than 2,000 varieties of plants flourish.
And each year, an appreciative audience continues to grow. Last year the gardens drew 15,000 visitors.
