Garden Walk visitors often miss some of the best private gardens that just happen to fall a bit farther out on the map in suburban areas. This tour focuses on Amherst, and we’re bringing back 3 of the popular gardens from last year’s tour on Berryman, Darwin and Sargent, as well as adding 3 new gardens. You’ll see four sunny, flower-filled gardens of the sort that everyone wishes for, as well as two beautiful, multi-green shade gardens that are the reality for many of us. The gardens range, too, in size from small suburban plot to a surprising one acre in the heart of Amherst, where you’ll enjoy a picnic lunch. The tour will be led again this year by Mary Van Vorst, a Master Gardener, whose name and voice you may remember from her years in radio. As Chair of Open Gardens for three years, Mary has been able to select truly superior gardens that highlight our regional styles.
