Friends of Forbes Library, Inc. announces The 32nd Annual Northampton Garden Tour on Saturday, June 13 from 10am to 4pm, rain or shine.
All proceeds from the tour, raffle and t-shirt sales benefit the Friends of Forbes Library, Inc to help fund collections, programs, projects, preservation, events, training, and equipment to enrich the Library’s exceptional resources and services that benefit the local community.
We hope the tour will inspire and educate with a variety of landscape styles, plants and gardening methods. The care and skill that has been poured into these gardens is extraordinary. Each garden has plant descriptions and volunteer guides to answer your questions. There will be live music and a plein-air painter for your enjoyment. Bicyclists are welcome along this 12 mile scenic route. Tickets provide garden locations and parking guidance. You provide your own transportation to all gardens on the tour.
