Grounds and Structures

Perhaps my favorite botanical garden in the world, it is a beautifully maintained island on the Bodensee (Lake Constance).  It's amazing how moderate the climate is on the island.  I've visited the island twice now, both times by ferry from the town of Uberlingen on the eastern shore of the lake.
