We made it to the weekend! Join the Trustees for your next adventure this weekend. Whether you take a hike, visit a farm, or hop on a tour, your choice to visit a Trustees property is sure to come with unforgettable memories. 

For those who love the water, join CraneOutdoors for one of the exciting trips, including a Sunset Kayak in the Crane Wildlife Refuge, Kayak Adventure on the Castle Neck River, Kayaking Historic Fox Creek, or a Choate Island Kayak and Hiking Adventure. While you’re at the Crane Estate, enjoy learning about the history of the Cranes through one of the Castle Hill Tours. Tours include the Guest of the Cranes, Cupola with a View, Behind the Scenes in the Great House, The Cat’s Meow, and Formal Flowers. Check out the schedule to see which tours run each day! 

Get into the garden! Whether growing your own or seeking to explore the beautifully manicured gardens stewarded by the Trustees, there’s a program for you this weekend. At the Lenox Kendall Community Garden in Roxbury, join Gardening 102: Pruning and Harvesting, a hands-on demonstration of pruning and training fruiting crops to maximize productivity. Also learn some best practices for harvesting produce. On the North Shore, explore historic homes and gardens at Long Hill in Beverly and Stevens-Coolidge House and Gardens in North Andover. Long Hill hosts their House & Garden tour, as well as a Garden Month by Month Tour of The Summer Garden. At Stevens-Coolidge, enjoy The Bloom Room, a Guided Garden Tour. 

As always, when in doubt, take a tour! Whether you’re a history buff, looking to teach the family something new, a fan of landscaped gardens, or an outdoorsy type wanting to get on the water, we have a tour that matches your needs.
