Description
The Secret Gardens of Cambridge Tour takes you for a stroll through an inspiring array of privately owned gardens. This year more than thirty-five gardens are on the tour –twenty-five of which have never been on the tour before, and eight of which we haven't seen in over eight years. Garden enthusiasts should save Sunday, June 5th between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm – the next chance won’t be for another two years!
This biennial, self-guided garden tour, spanning five Cambridge neighborhoods, provides an opportunity to explore the city, discover new spaces, encounter new ideas and designs, and learn gardening tips.
