Sublime and Beautiful Sunday the beauty of nature

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.

for today I thought i would share some images of the beauty of nature

These were taken in Haskell Gardens a lovely gardens here in New Bedford, it doesnt stand out on the street and many drive by it and do not even notice it, when I have shared photos from there on Facebook I am often asked where it is, so I guess I could sya it is a hidden gem here

a little bit about the history of the place

Allen Clifton Haskell (1935-2004) I have seen on line desribed as d “a nurseryman with an artist’s eye.” and it is said he symbolizes the best of New Bedford – grit, determination, ingenuity and an outward vision that once brought New Bedford whalers to every corner of the globe and later won international acclaim for Haskell as everyone from European royalty to local do-it-yourself gardeners made pilgrimages to his fabled Shawmut Avenue nursery described as “heaven on earth.”

Haskell created an 6-acre urban paradise – a touch of Old World restrained elegance with meandering cobblestone paths, ivy-covered stone buildings, strutting peacocks and rare plant specimens like the European hornbeam hedge rising over a stone wall and a 250-year old American dogwood – in a humble, working-class neighborhood on busy Shawmut Avenue

it is now managed by a not for profit group I believe called the trustees and is free to visit

they have a couple of big trees which in season have gorgeous blossoms

Wonderful story about Haskell Gardens. Sounds like a great place to visit. Stories like this of world class artists and gardens in an unassuming neighborhood are a testament to the American spirit.

Those are gorgeous pictures! I love little parks like those, in the middle of everything but a whole different feel inside. You see that a lot back east. I love your pictures, I love those blossoms!

It's a pity so many are just driving by without enjoying the serenity of the place.
