Brewster (Gardens) #AtoZChallenge

Something I love to do is to visit gardens, big and small.

In 2023 spouse and I visited Plymouth, Massachusetts during the Fourth of July weekend.  There is so much history in this city of around 65,000 people.  

In downtown there is a small garden park called Brewster Gardens.  This park is located in the original garden plot that was granted to settler Elder William Brewster in 1620.  Brewster was an English official and was a passenger on the Mayflower ship that brought the Pilgrims to the United States. He was also the only university trained passenger on the ship, and became a church leader for the Pilgrims.

For another side of the story, here's a post I wrote in 2024. 

The park was established 400 years later, in 1920. Today, it is a spot of beauty in downtown Plymouth.

Shall we go in? 

All over Plymouth, hydrangeas were in bloom. 

Note the statue behind the fountain.

This statue is the Pilgrim Maiden, by Henry Hudson Kitson. 

The Immigrant Statue.

Finally, a flower closeup.
