  • Princeville Botanical Garden

    April 18, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F

    We had a wonderful time visiting the Prineville Botanical Garden. Their collection of plants was amazing. We enjoyed a chocolate tasting and were surprised by a chocolate made from cacao grown in the garden. There is a cinnamon tree on the hillside above where the cacao is grown. Somehow, the cinnamon flavor makes its way into the cacao and the resulting chocolate. It was delicious!Read more
