Glenstone Museum

 On Thursday, August 27, we toured Glenstone Museum in Potomac, Maryland. We enjoyed the museum, lunch in the cafe, the Nature Walk and the Woodland Trail.

Wolf Trap Gardens

 On August 11 we toured the gardens at Wolf Trap. Members of Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia were there to show us the shade garden and to answer our questions. 

  After we toured the shade garden, Theresa led us on a walk through the park.

 In the shade garden.

We had recently had good rains so we saw several types of interesting fungi as we walked through the park.

We were surprised at how big this one was.
