This year the Concord Museum is celebrating 27 years of “going into good gardens” on the annual Concord Garden Tour.

The Museum’s Guild of Volunteers has organized the garden tour, an opportunity both to share in the delights of beautiful and historic private gardens in Concord and to support the Museum’s Education Programs which annually serve 10,000 students from 85 Massachusetts communities and 22 states.

The Museum’s Garden Tour has become a New England tradition for garden lovers from near and far. The Garden Tour will take place on two days, Friday and Saturday, June 3 and June 4, rain or shine. Each of the private gardens reflects the individual interests and passions of the owners and their families and will inspire both new gardeners designing their first perennial bed and accomplished landscapers with acres of “garden rooms.”

The tour of Concord-area gardens is self-guided and self-paced, beginning each day at 9:00 a.m. and continuing until 4:00 p.m. Garden-goers should arrive at the Museum to pick up their maps prior to starting out. Tickets are good for either or both days, but each garden may only be visited once. No refunds; no photography.

Tickets: $35 Concord Museum Members, $40 Non-members. Purchase tickets online at www.concordmuseum.org or at the front desk of the Museum, 200 Lexington Road in Concord. 2016 Garden Tour Sponsors are Corbett Incorporated, J. McLaughlin, William Raveis, Alden Landscape Design, with additional support from Bartlett Tree Experts, John de Lellis Gardens, Pumpkin Brook Organic Gardening, Season Four, The Outdoor Living Store, and The Green Lawn Company.
