The garden gates open in Boston's South End for our 25th Annual South End Tour on June 16th (rain date June 17th). This always-popular neighborhood event provides an opportunity to explore some of the South End's most spectacular private outdoor spaces. Thread through alleys and walkways for a self-guided, behind-the-scenes look at gardens ranging from intimate, informal, and even quirky spaces designed by resident gardeners, to the work of noted landscape designers -- many of which are open to the public only on the day of this tour.
The tour rotates through the neighborhood opening new gardens every year. This year's tour starts at the South End branch of the Boston Public Library and features gardens in an area bounded by Dartmouth St., Columbus Ave., Rutland Sq., and Tremont St.
Volunteers are stationed in each garden to welcome visitors, answer questions, and ensure that visitors have a great time on the Tour. All volunteers receive a free ticket to the Tour as a thank you. Plant and garden knowledge helpful but not necessary.

Description
The Trustees of Reservations is one of Massachusetts' largest non-profits and the nation's first conservation and preservation organization. We preserve and protect places of natural, scenic and historic beauty and hold these "reservations" in "trust" for public use and enjoyment. Our passion is to improve the quality of life in the Commonwealth, using our properties and their many programs as a powerful and compelling platform to engage more residents and visitors in our mission-driven work. We believe in protecting the irreplaceable forever, for everyone. Today, we care for 112 special reservations -- from beaches to farms, gardens and historic sites - within minutes of every resident.
