This story was going to include one of my favorite garden tours in Central Mass and beyond, Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, but it isn’t open yet due to major renovations, so I’m hoping to include that next month! We recently had a great day at Tower Hill, now called New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill. We love Garden Tours, but just like most things after having gone through the past few years of Covid, there are fewer of them. I’ve decided to branch out further for our mystery rides, and did some research to find Garden Tours all around Massachusetts. Am I missing any that you’re planning to go to? Message me, and I’ll add them to the list!
