Lodi gardens, spread over 90 acres, is a hot spot for morning walkers. This pristine patch of green is dotted with architectural delights from the 15th and 16th century and on Sunday mornings it becomes the best place for picnickers! The city’s picnickers come out in full force to enjoy some winter sun and the ruins come alive with people having a great time. Just watching people is enough to keep me interested for hours, but there are lots of things to do besides as well!
Chilly winter mornings are the best time to visit the garden. All you need is a rug, a flask of hot coffee/tea, a picnic basket, a book- if you want to relax and jumping around and rolling in the grass is not your idea of fun. Carrying games is a great idea too, especially if you are planning to go with kids. We had a ball of a time running after a Frisbee, but that’s when I realized how bad my hand-eye coordination really was! But the kiddies had more options than me. One bunch of kids actually set up a mini game of croquet! Sheesh, whatever happened to good ‘ol Frisbees and hula hoops!
Apart from the fun and games, it’s a lovely setting with birds, squirrels and dappled sunlight! And if you get tired of lolling around, you can always explore the myriad tombs and climb up the walls of the ruins to get a view of your surroundings!
So what are you waiting for!? Visit it this weekend and share your pics with us. We’d love that!
