I wanted to destress, so I drove over to Clemens Gardens for a nice stroll through the gardens.
What a beautiful place it is. There are flowers everywhere, as well as fountains and statues. These photos only capture part of what's available to see, but in case you haven't had a chance to visit, now is a great time to view them, as everything is in full bloom.
Take a look at some beautiful photos and then make a plan to take your own trip. All of your senses will thank you. Gallery Credit: Photos by Kelly Cordes Categories : From the WJON Newsroom , Newsletter , St.
