The 23rd Northampton Garden Tour Saturday, June 11 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., rain or shine.
Eight gardens of special interest are featured this year in and around Northampton on the 23rd Northampton Garden Tour. The tour raises funds for the Friends of Forbes Library, Inc. to sponsor special programming at Forbes Library. In addition to raising money, our goal is to inspire and educate interested gardeners with a variety of appealing landscape styles and collections of garden plantings. This year’s eight gardens are located along a scenic 18-mile route, making gardens accessible by car and offering a pleasant bicycle ride for the recreational peddler comfortable with varied terrain and distance. Tickets come with driving directions to this self-guided tour.At each garden, there are descriptions of the plantings and volunteer garden guides on hand to answer questions.
Tour tickets are $15 and can be picked up in advance at Forbes Library, Bay State Perennial Farm, Cooper’s Corner, Hadley Garden Center, North Country Landscapes and Garden Center, and State Street Fruit Store. On June 11th, the day of the tour, tickets are $20 and available only at the library.
The Friends of Forbes Library, Inc. Northampton Garden Tour also includes a raffle – Win organic compost, gift certificates, garden supplies, a landscape consultation, and more. Raffle tickets are 2/$5 or 5/$10 and are available at Forbes Library from May 9-June 9 as well as at one of the gardens on the day of the tour.
All proceeds benefit the Friends of Forbes Library, Inc. to support programs, events, and projects for the library that could not otherwise be funded.
