The Spiral Labyrinth in Haskell Gardens
The Spiral Labyrinth in Haskell Gardens
Today I will share a few shots at Haskell Gardens here in New Bedford, but a different portion of them which I have not shared before, but first a little bit about the gardens
For over 30 years, lifelong New Bedford resident Allen C. Haskell cared for this property as a successful nursery. Haskell was so known for his horticultural talents that celebrities like Martha Stewart and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis were among his fans. After Haskell’s passing, The Trustees saved the property in 2012 to protect this unique urban garden from development.
Today, the Allen C. Haskell Public Gardens feature six acres of carefully designed gardens, greenhouses, and one of the oldest houses in New Bedford, all arranged around a wide green common space — perfect for a sunlit picnic or to explore with a camera which is what I do :)
Now this area of the gardens is called the Spiral Labyrinth, and I kind of hope it is new or I am embarrased to say even though I have walked past the entrance to this area many a time, I had not noticed the sign or the labyrinth garden before.
I noticed this display the last time I was there and snalled a shot thinking it ws so cool

I found a path to walk in there and saw the spiral laid out in the grass

And this is the sign that is either new or I am not as observant as I think I am :)

Good morning, dear friend @tattoodjay
What a beautiful place you've visited, full of gorgeous vegetation.
Beautiful shots. I appreciate you letting us know about this beautiful place.
Have a wonderful day.
Beautiful shots my friend.
What a lovely place to visit and hike, I love nature.
Beautiful photographs you've shown us this time, Mr. @tattoodjay.
Have a beautiful day.
Hello!
How lucky we are to receive this tour from you!
I'm glad you've rediscovered peculiarities you hadn't seen before and are showing them to us!
Fantastic that the place has been preserved as a public space, by the way!
Looks like a great place for a stroll. Isn't it funny how we can walk by something over and over and just not notice it? The sign is quite possibly new, but even if not you can rest assured that you aren't the only one lol
Very nice and peaceful garden, great initiative to have keep this garden.
Have a lovely day
That's really cool. It makes a lot of sense to have a garden like that with areas they can let grow wild and then the spiral cut sections in the middle!
What a pretty place. I've been places like that and completely missed similar items that were obvious to everyone else. You're not a alone. They did a great job maintaining that place, I think Haskell would be proud to see his project today!
