Allen C Haskell Gardens
Allen C Haskell Gardens
Today I will share a few shots from a visit to the Haskell Gardens here in NEw Bedford MA
A little bit about the gardens
The late Allen C. Haskell, a lifelong New Bedford resident and famed horticulturist, assembled these six acres—the site of a traditional New England-style common, beautiful historic gardens, and one of the oldest homes in the city—over more than 30 years. Today, it’s a public park and unlikely botanical respite, blooming in the heart of New Bedford.
It is supported by a Group called the Trustees who maintain many parks inthe area
Let me start with a shot just upon walking into the gardens

As always, you take great photos and I enjoy looking at them.
Looking forward to spring here. Thats for sure. Cold one today. More snow tomorrow. I love the colored panels in the greenhouse.
I here we may get three inches of snow tonight not a huge amount but enough to make me have to shovel the driveway and foot paths
