Take in the Blossoms

Admire beautiful blossoms at gardens across the state. You can even pick your own at Wicked Tulip Farm and Halfinger Farms. After Mother’s Day, be sure to plan a visit to Lavender Pond Farm in Killingworth. For something a little more formal, head for the first municipal rose garden in the country, featuring greenhouses, nature walks, and rock gardens at Elizabeth Park in Hartford. For those who really want to stretch their legs, the Connecticut College Arboretum in New London includes hiking trails and a variety of natural ecosystems.
