"Can't wait to see more flowers in bloom! This place is so cute! It's a nice surprise to find this in New Bedford!! There is a stained glass greenhouse that is absolutely beautiful. Took pictures of what flowers were blooming. There was a bamboo area to build a fort, which is great for kids. Can't wait to go back!"
