New England has many dozens of gardens that showcase not only beautiful gardens but also innovative and original landscaping design and techniques and now is the perfect time to load up a picnic basket, grab the kids or dogs and head out for a days journey of landscape viewing.
Many of the gardens are private and you should check their websites for hours of operation and any restrictions they may have. Another avenue for gaining access to some of these landscaped gardens is to join a local garden club. Many garden clubs have special arrangements with many private gardens and in addition they can offer invaluable insights. Don’t forget to take your camera.
