Secret Garden

I am in love with the Royal Palms Resort in Scottsdale! Just when I was feeling depressed about a lack of foliage, my fiancé took me to this place for brunch. Heaven on earth! Literally a stunning place tucked away off Camelback Road.

I can't get over the beautiful landscaping --it looks lush and wild--overgrown but it's obviously very well thought out. Fushcia bouganvilla crawls over honeysuckle, and creeps into jasmin. Beautiful morning glories tumble over balconies. There are fountains and citrus trees. My favorite is this little bench off the beaten path...I imagine this is the perfect way to escape with a good book and a tall glass of iced tea.
