Gilbert - A Fun Vacation: Notoarestoen

On Sunday we packed our bag and drove back to Groningen, but before going back home we went on a last outing.

first we visited the Notoarestoen (garden of the notary) in Eenrum, a small town in Groningen.

The Notoarestoen is an arboretum started by notary Smit in 1968. There are many trees and plants, but most of all a lot of rhododendrons.

Lots of the rhododendrons were in bloom. 

As well as some of the other trees.

And flowers.

The arboretum was next to a farmer's field.


The rhododendrons were beautiful.


An old birdhouse.



Hmm... what's in here?




I saw this sad statue and tried to cheer him up.



It was very beautiful in the Notoarestoen.


Next: lots of yummy food!
