These shots were all taken in the Haskell Gardens here in New Bedford, which used to be a horticultural business ran by Allan C Haskell and he donated it to the city, and it is now supported by a group called the trustees. and they do a great job looking after the place, especially when you consider they do not charge any fee to visit here, so they must raise all their funds from donations.
As I have said Buttonwood Park is often called the Jewel of the city, I like to think of these gardens as a hidden gem of the city, as it is such a beautiful spot, no where as big as buttonwood, quite small actually but still a lovely spot to visit, and seems to me hidden as driving past it would be easy to not notice it , and also when I have shared photos from there on social media I often get asked by locals where it is, so clearly not that well known

and next up we have this nice colorful Lily
