If you’re looking to keep a New Year’s resolution of getting stronger and healthier, the Mercer Arboretum & Botanic Gardens can help. This quiet oasis of 393 beautiful acres is located just near Houston in the suburb of Humble and features not only 60 acres of themed gardens but also miles of scenic trails to take a relaxing, refreshing walk.
But this arboretum also offers year-round free fitness classes to take your workout even further, including guided hikes and tai chi sessions. You can even get in some exercise by helping in the gardens, such as by joining the Blossom Brigade.
