On Saturday 27 September we went to the J. C. Raulston Arboretum. We were fortunate to find an excellent parking space by the arboretum entrance. There was a big plant sale going on. In my blog of 21 September I showed pictures of the plant sale and our stroll around the arboretum. I said, "All the rest of the arboretum pictures will be in a separate blog entry." Here are all the pictures of our arboretum visit:
