The Bridge of Flowers was once owned by the Shelburne Falls & Colrain Street Railway and carried trollies across the river. The railway operated until 1927, and the history of the railway is preserved in the nearby Shelburne Falls Trolley Museum. After the railway went out of service, some community members had the idea to turn the abandoned trolley bridge into a beautiful landmark.
The bridge is now covered with gardens featuring a wide variety of plantings throughout the year. It blooms from at least April to October, beginning with bulbs, perennials, and flowering shrubs in the spring and changing throughout the year according to the season.
