Common Nature

>> Just gorgeous! <<

I'm glad you like it.

>> It looks big! <<

It's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. It's nearly square, so you if you drive by, it doesn't look huge from the street. But you can't see all of it at once, and it's divided into different habitat types. So from the inside, it seems much larger, and there's a lot going on. Seen from either end, the prairie garden and the south lot look big because you can see a long way. From inside the forest yard, though, you can't see as far, and that kind of makes it seem like there's more to it, in a different way.
