2026 Gloucester Garden Tour: SAVE THE DATE

Reblogged from Generous Gardeners Newsletter:

Here is a good thought: July 11, 2026: Garden Tour

2026 Gloucester Garden Tour

Saturday July 11, 2026 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM

Join Generous Gardeners for the 14th annual Gloucester Garden Tour on Saturday, July 11th, 2026, from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM.  Tour the scenic, coastal, and historic eastern shore of Gloucester, a popular summer destination for affluent Boston families in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the grand homes from that era with equally beautiful gardens still stand, and several are included on our tour.  Each owner approaches gardening differently, so you will be treated to a range of formal designs to cottage gardens, and an amazing garden that is a garden tour in itself. There is a tea house, a classic orchid greenhouse, and spectacular ocean views. Generous Gardeners is pleased to present these stunning properties that are seldom open to the public.  Shuttle buses will be available to help guests enjoy this year’s 3-mile round trip, self-guided tour.

Tickets/booklets and wrist bands will be picked up at the Stop and Stop parking lot at 6 Thatcher Road near the CVS.  Given the exclusivity of the tour area, there are four different parking locations to be shared when you pick up your ticket. Parking is on a first-come, first-serve basis and is not guaranteed.

Peaceful sunsets

On Tuesday taking a walk on Shore Road with the sunset club, we were able to walk out to the end of the pier.  We have an obsession to touch the end of the pier for good luck.

Boston Skyline from Magnolia Landing

On a clear night, Boston looks so close.  Boston is 20 nautical miles from Magnolia.

Another amazing sunset on Wednesday

On Wednesday, the clouds rolled in and looked dark.  By the time the sunset another surprise by mother nature.  A beautiful pink, red glow appeared.   The snow adds to the beauty.

Lucky to live here.

Fun times at Stage Fort Park on a snow day

When the snow comes, the sledding begins.  As I was watching the kids snowboarding, sledding and just having fun, makes me want to get on a flying saucer and take it down the hill.  Notice the little one it pink being pulled by a sibling.

Red Cardinal

This beautiful cardinal looked at me to say thank you for the seeds.  Male cardinals look so beautiful especially in the snow.

Cold Saturday at Magnolia Pier

Saturday morning was 0 degrees, so I decided to take a ride around Shore Road.  Drove not walked.

So Salty 2026

Even though the temperature was 11 degrees.  Rick and walked Main Street to see the ice sculptures.  They were amazing and well worth walking and checking out the ice sculptures.  Since it is only 11 degrees, I think these fun sculptures will be around for awhile.

Walking Stacy Boulevard with the cold air in my face

On Wednesday decided to take a walk on the Boulevard.  It was cold but the air was clear and felt good.
