Tower Hill

Over the labor day weekend we went to Tower Hill. It's a botanical garden, which does have a hill but there is no tower on the hill or near the hill so I don't know where the name came from. My guess would be they wanted something that would make you think of England. Which it did for me since its the name of the tube stop near the Tower of London.

The garden is setup to make you think of an English botanical garden. It reminded me of what Kew Gardens just outside of London would have looked like while it was under construction. You see the management at Tower Hill have this 8 stage plan and they are starting contruction on stage 4. They would like to be done in 2038 or something like that. So I guess I'll wait till then to go back. What they have done is very nice and I think it was time well spent.
