What You Will Do
The ideal time of the year for comfort and flowers for such a tour is in the last half of February, March, April, and October. The environments are tranquil, relaxing, full of flowers and you will see ducks, koi fish, squirrels, and more and sit in one or more of the pagodas. These are good sites to take photos. Be prepared to sweat in May, June, July, August, and September and dress warmly from November through the first half of February.

Allow 25 to 30 minutes. Rienzi was built in 1952; however, we do not enter the house. Landscape architect Ralph Ellis Gunn designed the gardens in the 1950s. It has 4.4 acres. Two steep ravines that lead to Buffalo Bayou slice through the area that has a variety of native plants as well as a reflecting pool. A bayou is a slow moving river whose movement is so slow that it may be imperceptible to the eye. Closed on Monday and Tuesday.

- I have selected what I think are 2 of the most interesting and verdant trails to hike in the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center: The Serpentine Donors' Boardwalk Trail that crosses over a swamp and the Ravine Trail. You may want to take several photos on either of these trails. We will have time to only trek on one trail. The Serpentine Trail is probably the shorter of the 2 trails. Keep this in mind when we are going through the other sites so that you allow more time if you want to walk along the Ravine Trail.
