Not quite botanical

Attended a friend’s wedding last weekend, held at the Quail Botanical Gardens in Encinitas (north of San Diego).

One constant feature of botanical gardens the world over is the collection of placards identifying each type of tree, shrub, or other plant. In the walled garden where the ceremony was held, they took it a step further:

Placard: Artificial Grass. There is a lot of traffic in this shady area and grass doesn't grow well. Artificial turf is a good solution that saves water, fertilizer, and labor.
