Purchase Add-Ons
Is this event the same as past spring bulb events at Stevens-Coolidge House & Gardens? While many elements will be similar to years past—and the wonderful program at Naumkeag—some adjustments have been made to this year’s event. Due to a tulip blight, our gardens will have a less dense bulb planting which is reflected in the lower price point. We appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll come enjoy the beauty of our gardens!
