Sublime and Beautiful Sunday Signs of spring in the Haskell Gardens
Sublime and Beautiful Sunday Signs of spring in the Haskell Gardens
This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.
For today I will share a few shots of a recent visit to Haskell Gardens here in New Bedford.
I did share a post recently about it but that was focusing more on the grounds, for today I will share some shots of blossoms, which in my mind are both beautiful and after a long cold winter sublime to see.
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 an unlikely botanical respite, blooming in the heart of New Bedford.
Its is now managed by a group called the Trustees who manage a few parks and sights in the area.
Starting with these two trees, which I spotted as I drove past the place one day on an errand and had to go back later that day in the afternoon to check it out and see the beauty there

And I could just share the yellow blossoms had to give the other tree justice
NO unlike my dad who was an avid gardener and would know for sure, I am not certain but think these are magnolias but not sure what specific species

Such gorgeous flowers in spring time aren't there? That is an amazing garden they have maintained so beautifully. A true place to escape the city into a slice of nature without the long drive out of the city! Those white and red blossoms are so pretty, what great shots!
IT really is a greta place and they look after it so well and only a couple of minutes drive from my house so I am lucky
Me encanta,como me gusta la naturaleza,esas flores son demasiado hermosas 😍
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
Man there is something special about trees that flower before they produce leaves! Especially up here where flowers can take a little longer to bloom on the ground and the pollinators are desperate for food and survival.
Here’s to spring walks outdoors and early season bloomers
Sunlight through petals, perfect.

STOPIt is amazing how much history is packed into those six acres! Allen C. Haskell clearly left a lasting legacy for New Bedford. Seeing those vibrant yellow blossoms with the light shining through the petals is the perfect way to welcome a #BeautifulSunday. Your Sony A7iv really captured that delicate transparency beautifully.
thanks, and yes it is a wonderful legacy he left behind
