Description


-----
On Saturday, we were in Fairmount Park shooting an Easter Egg Hunt/Fundraiser at the Centennial Arboretum. It was hosted by State Representative, Vanessa Brown, and the kids and their parents were ROCKING! What Fun!
----
Afterwards we walked around the arboretum. It was originally created as part of the 1876 Centennial celebration, and is now undergoing a beautiful Renaissance by Friends of the Horticultural Center of Fairmount Park.
-----
This was part of a greenhouse display of succulent plants. I do not know the name of the foreground cactus, but the little "buds" along the edges of the leaves eventually fall off, take root, and become new plants!
