Now you may have already sensed my ambition to bring a garden online to our blog. I believe that engineers and other professionals who spend so much time focusing on our careers need to take a break from time to time and immerse ourselves in nature.     Short Version with Selected Photos I have been visiting different botanical gardens across California with my husband and recording the fun journeys. Last weekend, we went to  the   Regional Parks Bot...
