Saying Farewell to “Hatchlings”

The Hatchlings winter lights display has a very special place in our hearts at The Greenway. As many residents know, winter months here in Boston often bring towering snow drifts, whipping winds, and freezing cold temperatures. Luckily, for the second year in a row, here at The Greenway the arrival of winter has also meant the arrival of the beautiful artistic installation from Studio HHH: Hatchlings!

Saying goodbye to Hatchlings

We have loved hosting these whimsical light installations for two years in a row, but as winter comes to an end, we will be saying farewell to our winter lights too! Throughout the past few months, Hatchlings has brought a sense of joy, whimsy, and wonder to some of our coldest and darkest days on The Greenway, and we have delighted in seeing the photographs our community has shared with us online. Below are a handful of some of our favorite captures from the past two years!

One more chance to visit winter lights on The Greenway

We hope you have an opportunity to experience the beauty of the Hatchlings winter lights display in person before we say goodbye to them next week when they begin their journey to their next home (details coming soon!). Thank you so much to the wonderfully talented team at Studio HHH for bringing a sense of playfulness and joy to our winter months. We can’t wait to see where Hatchlings lands next!
