New Bedford is in Massachusetts, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in New Bedford peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Such a charming spot, I like to call a hidden Jewel of the city as it does not seem that well known, well worth a visit especially in spring with all the colorful flowers, so well mainanted a real pleasure to visit and relax there

Peaceful place with gardens to wander and plants to explore. The labyrinth was looking extra nice the day I visited as a local yoga group had continued the spiral into a mandala using flower petals. A low key, quiet spot that I'm happy to have stumbled on.

Beautiful relaxing public garden in New Bedford. If you love unique flowers, plants, and 100 year old trees, this is the place for you. Now, owned by women, lovers of nature help upkeep the property. Open daily. (Park on streets, internal parking not allowed to public) Free.

This was definitely a hidden gem. I've lived in the New Bedford area most of my life and had no idea this place was even here. It's such an amazing little spot to get away from the city life and just be out in nature to enjoy the beauty that is all around. Loved this public garden, and hopefully, more people can learn about it, to enjoy as well.

I really admire what The Trustees have done to preserve the legacy of Allen C. Haskell in this garden. The horticulture is top notch and the historic specimens are fantastic. I’ve visited several times and enjoy the change of seasons.
