We’ll drive to Avant Gardens in North Dartmouth first, where owner Katherine Tracey will lead a workshop on how to transform your container gardens for late summer and fall. Following the workshop, tour the gardens and greenhouse to enjoy and purchase any of the array of uncommon and rare trees, shrubs, perennials, garden annuals, succulents, and hard-to-find houseplants. A buffet lunch follows.
Then we’re on our way to the Allen C. Haskell Public Gardens, a storied former New Bedford nursery and homestead-turned vibrant public park. Mr. Haskell himself curated the six acres of beauty blooming in the heart of the town.
Nancy DuBrule-Clemente will guide us through these spectacular spaces.
