This looks like an episode of TNG. The planet's prime minister must be near.

Hello neighbor!

[–] ProfessorScience@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Hello from Wisconsin! I was in town a couple weeks ago for a vacation. Very lovely!

Kubota Gardens, no?

[–] ProfessorScience@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, this is the one by the Washington Park Arboretum. I didn't get a chance to visit Kubota.

Oh, nice. I love their greenhouse. I rode my motorcycle by the Arboretum today down to Seward and back to Dexter. Had lunch on Lake Wa.

For (more) folks who have visited both, I'm curious how this compares with Portland's Japanese garden.

[–] mbp@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

Portland's is pretty fuckin dope.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Such a lovely spot right in the middle of the city! We’ve had perfect weather to visit lately, too. Thanks for sharing :)

I think the one in Portland is better.

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You'd have to spend the whole day drinking craft brews and mainlining reefer to think that.

Oh. Wait. Portland.

Or people can like different things...? They didn't say anything bad about the picture or even the Seattle garden in general. I read their comment as a compliment. There's no reason to shit on them.

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Ha. You're reading more malice than exists there. Portland is famous for having excellent craft beer and plentiful weed. That's the joke.

[–] MrQuallzin@pie.eyeofthestorm.place 2 points 2 months ago

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I can be a bit dense sometimes. I'm just north in the Vancouver area so am quite familiar with their goods 😎

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

And I can't use either of them. Waaahhhhh
