Garden Chronicles

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever"

Gardening is therapeutic, peaceful, and keeps you healthy. My blush rose, society garlic, and salvia thrived so well in spring. The recent triple digit temperatures have created havoc but I continue to tend to them and I know they will be back with a bang once the heat dies down.

Discovering Your Town Series: Caddo Trail, Frisco

Entrance to the Trail at J CGrant Park

Caddo Trail  is a lovely urban trail that mostly meanders behind beautiful homes in west  Frisco. I loved walking this trails because the topography was so different. The trail starts out near Grant Park off of Wade Blvd. It takes you into a beautiful, rocky wooded area that forms the backyard for rows of gorgeous homes in that neighborhood. You can admire the lovely landscaping and gorgeous backyards if you wish.

After about 3/4 mile, the trail opens up slightly and continues along the limestone banks of Stewart Creek. As you cross a bridge over the creek, the trail goes further into the wooded parts of the area, and it becomes quieter, more meditative until it finally opens up near a new housing development.

Hopefully the City will complete the trail so that it forms a loop back to Grant Park. The trail is not very long, just about a mile one way. If you want a change of scenery and are looking for some new areas to explore, this trail is perfect for that. The pictures were taken during winter and I loved the trail even with the bare trees.
