| Join Blithewold for a guided tour of the Botanic Garden of Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. The garden boasts a large conservatory filled with botanical wonders from around the world: material being forced for the Spring Bulb Show; a waterfall and plants from Asia, Latin American, and Australia/New Zealand; and foliar and floral scents of culinary, medicinal, and perfumery significance. Even during the cold months, an outdoor collection of 1,200 woody plants and a Japanese reflection garden beckon the visitor. After a tour at noon, we will have time to informally explore both the garden and town on our own. Bus transportation is provided. Registration deadline is Wednesday, February 6. . Time: 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Cost: $52. |
