Hello Local Gardeners!

Are you interested in having your garden on next year's tour, or the year after? Contact us at The Friends of Forbes Library, P.O. Box 1363, Northampton MA 01061. We try to visit all gardens in the summer or early fall, try to group them to ease traffic, and will only take repeats if there is something significantly different in the garden.

We'd love to hear from you.
