The Public Garden is a beautiful subject in any season. But, in summer it really comes to life. Life, in both senses: people and plantings. The main walkways are lined with planting beds that feature the most creative designs of the Parks Departments' horticulturists.
When the weather is nice, the park is teaming with strollers, people eating lunch on park benches, musicians playing, and many in line for the swan boats.
July 4th was a Saturday this year...."Saturday in the park; I think it was the 4th of July"....the lyrics of that song by Chicago were in my mind all day. When we passed through the park, people were everywhere. The swans were nesting. The mallards were escorting their little ducklings around the lagoon.
There are a sampling of the photographs I took this summer.
Sampling of the horticultural creativity:
