Visiting Arboretum and Botanical Garden

The crown jewel of the Fullerton Arboretum is the Heritage House. Originally built in 1894 and located in downtown Fullerton, the Heritage House gives visitors a glimpse into the Victorian-style of architecture popular with Orange County homes in the 19th century.

Great Blue Heron
The Great Blue Heron is a stately heron with subtle blue-gray plumage. It often stands motionless as it scans for prey or wades belly deep with long, deliberate steps. Although they may move slowly, Great Blue Herons can strike like lightning to grab a fish or snap up a gopher.
We saw this bird at Sarah P. Duke Gardens in Durham, North Carolina.

Red Bridge at the Gardens
Now away from flowers, the iconic Meyer Bridge, which is located over the large pond in the Culberson Asiatic Arboretum, is one of the most well-known features of the Sarah P. Duke Gardens and is often a favorite spot for visitors to pause for photos and gaze at the beauty around them.
The distinctive red color of the bridge is authentically aligned with the hue of a traditional red bridge in Japan. Garden bridges in Japanese gardens have both a symbolic and a practical meaning. Bridges symbolize traveling and transition, and inspire mindfulness as one takes steps–literally and figuratively–to cross.
