    The Concord Museum Guild of Volunteers is thrilled to present their Annual Garden Tour on June 5 and 6, 2026.

    In 2026, the Tour will offer a wide variety of garden styles and features, including decorative elements and vegetable beds, manicured spaces and naturalistic plantings, native species and showstopper plantings. Each offers an approach to creating gardens that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, complement the architectural features of the home, and offer delightful settings for everyday living. This year’s gardens also showcase expansive patios, immaculate pools and water features, hand-cut fieldstone walls, winding paths, and terraces.

    All proceeds benefit the Museum’s vital school programs that serve over 15,500 K-12 students across the Commonwealth each year.

    The Garden Tour will take place on two days, Friday and Saturday, June 5 and June 6, rain or shine. The tour is self-guided and self-paced, beginning each day at 10:00 a.m. and continuing until 4:00 p.m. Tickets are good for either or both days, but each garden may only be visited once.

    Please note we are unable to refund tickets once they are purchased.  No photography is permitted at the gardens.

  • Friday, June 12, 11:00 am – 3:00 pm – Florence Griswold Museum Annual Garden Luncheon

    Join friends at the Florence Griswold Museum on Friday, June 12 for a day brimming with art, beauty, & nature — while helping them care for an historic landscape.

    The day begins with prosecco and a garden-fresh lunch. Then hear from American art scholar Elliot Bostwick Davis— a former curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, who will invite you into the world of one of America’s most iconic artists. The author of Edward Hopper & Cape Ann: Illuminating an American Landscape will share how Hopper’s summers in 1920s Gloucester, Massachusetts set the stage for his monumental career, as well as how his wife and fellow artist, Josephine Nivison, became the driving force behind Hopper’s artistic evolution.

    Tour Miss Florence’s gardens in bloom, take in the stunning exhibition, “Revelations: A Decade of Collecting, 2016-2026,” and be delighted by Blooms with a View — floral arrangements inspired by works on view.
