    The Boone County Arboretum is a 121-acre arboretum located at 9190 Camp Ernst Road, Union, Kentucky, United States. It is open to the public without charge during daylight hours.

    The Arboretum first started as an idea in 1996, was formally dedicated in 1999, and now contains more than 3,300 plants, including over 1,400 trees and 1,900 shrubs, that represent over 873 taxa. All are labeled and recorded with a GPS location. The Arboretum also features approximately 2.5 miles of walking trails.

    Boone County Arboretum is the nation's first arboretum within an active recreation park setting. The Arboretum is located just outside Union, KY. A short, 25 minute drive southwest from downtown Cincinnati, OH will put you in Northern Kentucky's only arboretum.

    If you drink the right bourbon you can see the blue in the grass! (And the red in your eyes)

    A lot of the under 30 crowd is really much more into bourbon than scotch. I prefer scotch but never turn down a quality bourbon either.

    I was addicted to watching the Kentucky Gypsies on that My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding show.

    Bling baby!

    Despite the rampant poverty and incest there are really beautiful parts of Kentucky.
