Join us on Saturday, July 25, 9 to 3 pm, for a self-paced tour of Mid-Hudson gardens. Eight of the area’s most exciting and beautiful gardens will open their doors for a free day of garden surprises, learning, and fun. Whether you visit one or all eight gardens, friendly guides will be on hand to share their stories, lead fun activities, and answer your questions. You can print your own map to guide your drive at the Growing Together Garden Tour website.

Our eight participating gardens range from locally-grown to gilded grandeur to community spaces. Each garden has a unique mission and a fascinating history that cements it as part of our community and our heritage. Come see why the Hudson Valley is home to the best gardens in the world!
