Get to Know, Explore and Love Nature

April 25, 2008 · Filed Under Art & Creativity

Nature is one of the biggest muses of all time. It is timeless, serving as the muse for many poets, writers and artists of all kinds. While I should do it more often, I encourage everyone to go outside, take in the fresh air and actually get to know and explore the scenery around you. Nature does amazing things to the mind–It’s calms, makes problems and stress seem as if they are miles away, it brings out your inner creativity and makes it shine through to the point where you can’t help but create.

There isn’t a better place out there to explore and love nature for what it is than Shangri La Botanical Gardens.

Shangri La Gardens and Nature Center is located in Orange, Texas, which is the only reason I can think of to actually visit Texas.

It is an incredibly eco-friendly environment where you can see over 300 different types of animals and plants and it also includes a great deal of activities, making it a world-class educational facility, if you aren’t interested in going off by yourself. Another great point is that they offer educational and fun activities for children of all ages, making it a prime vacation spot; if I were ever going to step foot in Texas, I know I’d definitely be interested in visiting Shangri La Gardens.
