Garden in the Woods

Garden in the Woods is a great place to go if you like gardens and are near Boston especially in the Spring.

Flowers are in bloom...

... ferns are fiddle hedding...

and the variety of flowers are wonderful.

Some of of the little flowers are doubled colored...

...and others have bright stems and ruffled flower tips.

Some of them have windswept shapes...

...and others look like little bucket claws like prize machines...


Some areas of the garden are green and flowery...


...some are damp footed in the water...


... ans other areas are gray and somewhat dead looking...

... and some flowers look like little white bells.
There is a little wildlife like this mallard duck...

... turtles near the shore...

...and some on islands in the pond...

 ...and I even found a chipmunk.

The flowers were wonderful...

... in both color and variety....

... and I even found some cactus here in the Northeast

There was a fake stegosaurus...

... that was pretty cool,..

and an artistic wooden snake in the valley.

We eventually returned to the place we started,,,
... where I took one more picture,

I took this picture several years ago on a visit to these gardens and I think the lady shown here was at the garden again this visit. Interesting!
