    Durell Community Garden and Pocket Park

    Durell Community Garden and Pocket Park

    (1 review)

    I have walked by this diminutive little brick & flowerbed "park" for months, and only today did I…read morestep inside and take a look around. I'm not sure whether that is a statement to how small the park is, how oddly placed it is, or how much I'm usually lost in my own little world. Beacon Street between a garage and a...what is that, a stubby little apartment building?...seems like an odd place for a park at first. But really, it's one of the only things that breaks up this bleak little stretch of road, and the trees that the benches face across the road are probably pretty scenic in autumn or early spring (and winter too, if you don't mind a cold, wet ass). The road can be busy at times, but not so much that the park would be unusable, except maybe during rush hours. The park seems like a great place to sit for lunch or a chat. In fact, I think I actually looked it over at its ugliest possible time -- at the tail of the winter thaw, the trees across the way aren't doing anything pretty, and there aren't yet any flowers in the flowerbeds, or they're still dormant -- and I STILL want to come hang out here. (Edit: Spring! The flowerbeds are now full, the trees are now lush, and the benches are dry! Go to!) Behind the little park is a community garden with a handful of plots. I'm not a community garden user, and it seems like any other, except that -- I love this -- it's handicap accessible! The paths between the plots are brick, the gates are wide, and the plots are raised so people can reach them! So damn simple & so damn smart. I haven't actually tried to ride through in a wheelchair to see if it is as accessible as it looks; I'll update the review if the situation arises. For an extra kick, head down the street (heading southeast) a few hundred feet, just past Ivaloo, and check out the private yard with the statues. They're another neat little easter egg on an otherwise grungy road, and they even sometimes dress up for holidays. (Edit: these statues have been missing for a few months now. I was hoping they were off being cleaned or restored or some such, but they may be gone for good.) (Side note, if you end up looking up more info: different official Somerville docs list different spellings. Some say "Durell" and some say "Durrell.")

    9/11 Memorial at Boston Public Gardens - overwhelmingly humblingly beautiful.

    9/11 Memorial at Boston Public Gardens

    AN ABSOLUTELY MUST DO! A FREE EVENT & IF YOU COME ON SUNDAYS THERE'S FREE PARKING AT THE METERS!…read moreThe 9/11 Memorial is also called The Garden of Remembrance & is located @ the Beautiful Boston Public Gardens in Boston. It is situated on the west side of the Gardens right across from the Hotel on the corner of Arlington St. & Newbury Street. Unlike New York where the 9/11 Memorial is all in one place, Boston has multiple places to honor those that have perished in that tragic incident. There's Logan Airport, The Public Gardens & some of the local towns have their own personal monuments & tributes as well. The Boston Public Gardens is the one I'm reviewing today. The Boston Public Garden is America's first botanical garden. It is also a National Historic Landmark. It is directly across the street from the Boston Common another Free Park. The memorial is approximately 5000 sq ft. There were some new trees, shrubs & flowers that were planted to the existing Oak, Elm, Maple, Cherry Ginkgo Lilac, Honey Locust, Sycamore, Silverbell, & Magnolia trees in the area. The Public Gardens also contains some very special Boston icons like the the famous children's book The "Make Way for Ducklings," Statues. There is also the 145 year old Beloved Swan Boats located right nearby too. So this is very accessible to lots of people. If you want to pay your respects to those who have died head on over to the 9/11 Memorial in this very special place. It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget!
