Nothing says “romance” quite like a rose. Instead of getting a bouquet of them for your loved one, however, take a train ride to the James P. Kelleher Rose Garden. It’s a small but stunning garden with more than 200 varieties of roses, as well as statues, a fountain and arched trellises. With over 1,500 plants in total and beautiful paths to walk down hand-in-hand, you’ll feel like you’re in a fairytale together. It’s open from May through October, so you’ll have ample time to see the flowers in full bloom.
