Querky Botanic

The Querky Botanic Gardens are fabulous.  We've enjoyed all the local sights but this was my hands down favorite.  The Botanic ticket includes the aquarium, which is small but nicely done.  The pix speak for themselves, minimal comments needed.

The large conservatory is divided into 2 parts, a tropical/wet climate segment and a desert segment. 

Small attractive succulent garden in hollowed out log.

Heritage Farm is a period piece with early 20th century critters, plants, equipment and buildings.

The person in the lower left is neither part of the exhibit nor a period piece.

Japanese garden with waterfall in middle distance.

Above and below are segments of the extensive model train layout.

Hi Yo, Ant!  Away!

Above and below, the view from our table in the Shark Cafe which shares a common wall with the largest aquarium saltwater tank.  We had lunch here, was disappointed that shark wasn't on the menu, had to settle for shrimp.

A very large jar of jelly............fish.
