Bard Arboretum Participates in Tour of Mid-Hudson Gardens
Blithewood Garden at Bard College.
On Saturday, July 25, members of the public and local community are invited to experience the beauty and diversity of gardens in the Hudson Valley during Growing Together: A Tour of Mid-Hudson Gardens, which will include both the gardens at Blithewood on Bard College’s Annandale campus as well as the grounds at Montgomery Place. This is a free, self-guided garden tour taking place on Saturday, July 25 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (rain or shine).
This collaborative event brings together historic estates/gardens, educational programs, and community gardens across the Mid-Hudson region for a day celebrating horticulture, local history, wellness, and community connection. Visitors are invited to visit as many of the gardens as they wish.
Participating Gardens:
“Growing Together is an opportunity to celebrate the gardens of the Mid-Hudson Valley including those that support community involvement,
wellness, sustainable agriculture, and food equity. We are honored to participate in this event,” said Scott Pidgeon, cofounder of Eden Share, Inc.
“Blithewood Garden is thrilled to participate in this new self-guided garden tour celebrating the diversity and beauty of Hudson Valley gardens, all located within a one-hour radius,” said Amy Parrella, arboretum director at Bard College.
“Public gardens, especially in an urban area, bring to the community a haven where everyone can experience the beauty and awe that nature inspires. I appreciate all the donors, volunteers, and caregivers who make them possible,” said Pamela Brown of Beatrix Farrand Garden at Bellefield in Hyde Park.
