    The famed Concord spokesman for individualism and self-reliance, Ralph Waldo Emerson, once wrote: "When I go into a good garden, I think, if it were mine, I should never go out of it." This year the Concord Museum is celebrating 22 years of "going into good gardens" on the annual Concord Garden Tour. The Museum’s Guild of Volunteers has organized this pre-eminent garden tour, an unequalled opportunity both to share in the delights of beautiful and historic private gardens in Concord and to support the Museum’s Education Programs which annually serve 7,000 students from all over Massachusetts and the nation.

    The Museum’s Garden Tour has become a New England tradition for garden lovers from near and far. The Garden Tour will take place on two days, Friday and Saturday, June 3 and 4, rain or shine. Each of the seven private gardens reflects the individual interests and passions of the owners and their families and will inspire both new gardeners designing their first perennial bed and accomplished landscapers with acres of garden rooms. This year, the tour includes a Cotswold Cottage-style garden, a serene, river-view garden, the garden of one of Concord’s late 18th-century houses, a hillside garden with a terraced series of garden beds, a professional chef’s vegetable and herb garden, and much more.

    The tour of Concord-area gardens is self-guided and self-paced, beginning each day at 9:00 a.m. and continuing until 4:00 p.m. Garden-goers should arrive at the Museum to pick up their maps prior to starting out. Tickets are good for either or both days, but each garden may only be visited once. No refunds; no photography.
