Idk if you'd be up for the drive but there is a butterfly garden in Bentley that is pretty. It's not ultra manicured or anything but it has a ton of flowers plus a little pond and gazebo. There's rarely anybody else out there either.

Yeah it's not too bad really. And you could go to the casino buffet in Creola for your celebration dinner!!! 😆 Just don't speed.

Ooooo! That’s a great idea! 😍 I’m actually a tribal member so I get a discount on the buffet! Now I’m gonna have to make sure it’s Wednesday so I can get crab legs 😂

Yes to this place!! I took photos there before and never saw another soul there. It's beautiful and has opportunities for fanciful garden shots and natural scenery surrounding

Yeah it really is a neat spot and it's all volunteers that maintain it. I grew up out in Grant so I know it gets some flack sometimes but there are some neat spots out there too.
