Curious Nature Une course aux nains de jardin, le prétexte parfait pour un dimanche mémorable en famille!
J’ai toujours été fascinée par les nains de jardin. Ces jolies petites créatures qui agrémentent les platebandes et apportent une touche de fantaisie aux jardins. Lorsque que j’ai découvert que nous pouvions aller à leur rencontre dans l’un des plus beaux jardins d’Amérique du Nord, j’ai évidemment convié 2 jeunes exploratrices à venir à leur conquête!
