Don't Miss the Farm and Garden Tour!

Explore the beauty and diversity of 10 Shutesbury farms and gardens between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m on Sunday, June 26. Your hosts on this self-guided tour will be delighted to welcome you, rain or shine! Carpooling is strongly encouraged.
 
An elegant brochure with full descriptions, directions and parking instructions is provided with each ticket. Tickets, $5 in advance, are still available at the M. N. Spear Library, at Town Hall (ask for Town Clerk Leslie Bracebridge) and will be for sale the morning of June 25 at the Saturday Market behind Town Hall.
 
On the day of the tour, tickets can be purchased for $7 at Craigieburn Farm Alpacas, 243 West Pehlam Road; at Rita Farrell and Michael Broad's Gardens, 36 Briggs Road; and at Meryl Mandell and Stephen Smulski's Gardens, 453 Wendell Road.
 
Net proceeds from the sale of tickets will be used to beautify Shutesbury's public spaces.
 
Thanks to Susan Rice, Susan Loring-Wells, Rita Farrell and all the other farm and garden enthusiasts who have worked so hard to make this happen! They're now planning a second tour on September 11 that will include some new sites -- and the wonders of nature in a different season.
