Castle Gardens In Arcen

Hi,

A while ago we visited the "Kasteeltuinen" ( Castle gardens ) in Arcen.
http://www.kasteeltuinen.nl/en/index.html
I'd like to share some pictures with you. This park is really worth visiting !
In the park are a couple of Giant Sequoias ( sequoiadendron giganteum ) I know they're not half as big as the ones in the states but i think they are still pretty amazing. My oldest daughter is standing in front of the trunk for scale. This tree is about 100 years old

There's a very impressive maple garden in the park. These are all acer palmatum and acer japonica. Some very old examples !
