Hidden Gardens Self-Guided Garden Tour

The 16th Annual Hidden Gardens Tour and Garden Market on the Green had to be canceled for 2020 because of the pandemic. Not knowing exactly how opening up the county would evolve, we passed up the month of June this year and opted to schedule our event for later in the summer, on Saturday, August 28.

Making this choice gives all of us garden voyeurs a rare opportunity to view these beautiful private landscapes in the waning days of summer, rather than the burgeoning time of late spring. Several of the gardens have been on the tour before, but not for many years and never before offered for late season viewing. They have evolved and matured, the light is different, the color palette is bolder and richer and it’s a chance to see how these avid gardeners keep their landscapes interesting and fresh in the dog days of August.

Join us to be inspired by visits to five private gardens in Austerlitz, Chatham, Ghent and Spencertown.

The gardens will be open from 10:00am to 4:00pm.

Advance tickets are $35 and day-of tickets are $40. Day-of tickets will be sold at the Academy and at the Market on the Green.
