Good Morning today I will share some shots from a recent walk in Haskell Gardens here in New Bedford but first a little bit about the gardens
The late Allen C. Haskell, a lifelong New Bedford resident and famed horticulturist, assembled these six acres which were the site of a traditional New England-style common, beautiful historic gardens,
It sits on an otherwise unassuming avenue in New Bedford MA, infact when I have shared photos of it on FB people have asked where it is who have lived here for years and did noy know about it, it is a 6 acre public garden
The main greenhouses and nursery yard are now gone, but The Trustees for Reservations, who acquired the property in 2013, have preserved the main plantings and made the gardens open to the public free of charge 365 days a year. It is now a tranquil oasis enjoyed by local residents, but too be honest not sure how many even know about this place, I often am the only one there when I visit it, and when I share photos from here on Facebook not to many seem to know about it, which is a pity its such a beautifulplace especially at this time of year
Starting near the entran ce i passed this plant which I do believe is some form of Bambbo

after passing the greenhouses which I shared photos of in a recent post is a field and they have converter a container into a little garden which I think is a real cool idea

Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.
This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines
Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.
Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.
Try and get a few shots not just one
Add a bit of a write up about where you walked
Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week
You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.
Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss
Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .
Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.
I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules
I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk.
