See Blithewold Mansion’s gardens come to life on Sunday, April 15 beginning at 1 pm as tens of thousands of daffodils and other early blooming bulbs and shrubs are coaxed from winter slumber to delight you with their quiet beauty and subtle scents. Led by Horticulturist Gail Read, this special walk for the whole family will highlight stars of the early spring garden. Blithewold Mansion is located at 101 Ferry Road in Bristol, Rhode Island. Be prepared, however – spring has been so warm, you may be seeing tulips instead! For directions, visit www.blithewold.org. Free with regular admission.
This autumn, the Charles River Conservancy will be planting bulbs along the banks of the Charles in Boston, Cambridge, and Watertown. For the next month, every dollar you give will purchase one bulb that will help to brighten our Parklands next spring.
If you’re unable to donate funds for the bulbs, help plant them! Volunteer events will take place throughout October and November until the ground freezes.
You can donate securely via their website, www.TheCharles.org. Please specify BULB PLANTING in the “Comments†box. If you prefer, you can also mail a donation to: Charles River Conservancy, 4 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA 02138.
For questions, or to volunteer for a bulb planting event, please contact the Volunteer and Outreach Coordinator John Broderick at jrb@thecharles.org or 617.300.8173.
