“The Cedar Valley Arboretum and Botanic Gardens was founded in 1996 and is located directly East of Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo, Iowa. The mission of the Arboretum is to enhance the quality of life for all individuals through horticulture.” Wikipedia

It was a beautiful afternoon for a walk through the arboretum and gardens. I knew it wasn’t the right time of the year to see flowers, but I could tell that later in the year the gardens would be very pretty. It would be a great place to take children as they have quite a children’s garden area.
