The annual Hidden Gardens of Beacon Hill Tour returns for its 96th anniversary on Thursday, May 15. This self-guided tour provides access to the secret gardens of one of Boston’s most charming neighborhoods, famed for its picturesque streets and lavish gardens (many of which you don’t get to experience).
However, on May 15, you can enjoy them all as The Beacon Hill Garden Club collaborates with tenants to open up all the lush flowering spaces to anyone on the tour.
You’ll get access to 11 never-before-seen private gardens of Beacon Hill in addition to a few ribbon gardens. The tour is perfect for anyone with an interest in urban gardening.
Tickets are required for the tour, and can be found online, but they sell out quick! This also includes tea, coffee, and refreshments which will be available at the tour meeting point from 9 AM until 3:30 PM. Ticket proceeds are a charitable donation and go towards further elevation of local environmental, conservation and education programs.
When: Thursday, May 15 from 9 AM-5 PM, rain or shine
Where: Beacon Hill
