Spring Hours Thursday through Sunday Open at 11:30AM
The clouds this week with the incoming and outgoing storms have enhanced our beautiful cityscape. 
With the rain coming, and time passing, you may want to get down to Stacy Blvd today and take a stroll while Lil’ Holland is still in full effect! A BIGLY thank you to the fine folks at Generous Gardens for all their hard work. Next year will not feature tulips again, so today is the day to enjoy it in the warm sun!
When asked which bait will attract the most minnows, would you guess bread, hotdogs, chocolate covered granola bar, or cheese?
Well, Finn wanted to know. My little budding angler and future fishing show host (if you ask him) decided to find the answer to that question for science fair this week. He chose four types of bait, filled four traps each night, set them in Henry’s Pond at Pebble Beach at 7:00 pm, jumped out of bed at 6:00 a.m., hauled his traps, and counted his catch.
You’ll have to watch the video to see which type of bait did the job the best. I’m pretty proud of my littlest fisherman!
Spring Hours Thursday through Sunday open at 4PM

“Greetings from the Pond Team…
We had a nice time at the Mass State House yesterday. 48 people, mostly from the New England Herpetological Society, were there to oppose Senate Bill 490 which, if passed, would basically shut down our live animal educational presentations. The bill was not very well thought out or very well written. They lumped animal educators in with people who promote dog fighting. Several of us testified against the bill. At the end of the day, I think I could safely say… “That bill isn’t going anywhere.”
Sunday May 7, 2017 from 10am-4pm

Later, Rick
