Naumkeag’s annual Spring Celebration returns for its 5th year, from April 19 to May 12, Thursdays through Sundays, as the eight acres of the world-renowned gardens bloom with bulbs to celebrate spring in the Berkshires.
The 48-acre estate in the heart of Stockbridge will come to life with the colors and spirit of spring with a variety of blooms, containers, displays and decorations against the backdrop of views of Monument Mountain and the Berkshire Hills.
The first floor of the house will be open for self-guided tours along with a seasonal gift shop located inside the house, and Naumkeag will have mixed bouquets and container plants for sale at a pop-up shop outside the greenhouse, along with a pre-sale of spring bulbs.
Daffodils bloom in the foreground with a wide view over the valley at the annual Daffodil and Tulip Festival at Naumkeag in Stockbridge.
Food and refreshments will be for sale on-site at the outdoor concession.
Advanced purchase of timed tickets is required (one ticket needed per person). Naumkeag will not be selling tickets on site, and your ticket time represents your arrival window, so they ask everyone please to arrive during this time. Parking will be located on site at 5 Prospect Hill Road.
Severe weather will cancel the event with a full refund. You can check Naumkeag’s website, facebook and instagram page for notice of cancellation, and they will also email ticket holders.
They also ask visitors to be aware that the gardens are on a hillside, and uneven and stepped terrain may mean that accessibility is limited. You can email tickets@thetrustees.org with any questions.
By the Way Berkshires is a digital magazine exploring creative life and community — art and performance, food and the outdoors — and I’m writing it for you, with local voices, because I’ve gotten to know this rich part of the world as a writer and journalist, and I want to share it with you.
If you’d like to see the website grow, you can join me for a few dollars a month, enough for a cup of coffee and a cider doughnut. Members get access to extra stories and multimedia, itineraries a bookmark tool. Let me know what you're looking for, and we’ll explore together.
