Yesterday as I was going from one place to another, I unexpectedly came upon a hidden treasure. I had taken a “wrong” turn (turned out to be exactly where I was meant to be) at the stop sign to my right was this beautiful green house and garden. Tucked within East Rock Park in New Haven, CT is the Pardee Rose Garden and Greenhouse. With the late morning air crispy with springtime and the light so sparkly…my car turned into the parking lot. I had no idea what was awaiting, with my camera I adventured into the greenhouse. The keeper of the space, Matthew, gave me a tour of the greenhouses filled with sprouting plants in various stages. He then brought me into the main greenhouse and tucked in the back among the tropical, luscious plants was a pool of Dancing Water!!!! That was all I needed to see…an hour later, after photographing the water, I felt refreshed, blessed, and so happy I took the “wrong” turn.
