Walk Around Houghton Garden

Today, I went for a walk through the Houghton Garden. It was a warm and beautifully sunny day (75°), perfect for making observations about different species. When we arrived to the site, the entrance was hidden, but when we finally entered it, we realized that it was one of Boston College's hidden gems. There were several short trails that one could take, so my friend and I walked through several. First, we walked up a small trail, and we mainly saw green leaves and trees with some yellow and white flowers hidden. Once at the top, we saw the pond and decided to walk towards it. We crossed a small bridge and saw an abundance of flowers, ranging from yellow and orange to purple and pink. There were many insects, but it wasn't a bother. Finally, we rested on a bench near the water, and we absorbed the beauty around us. Houghton Garden was a very relaxing experience, and I am very glad I finally saw it!
