Beverly Shores Garden & Art Walk--note CORRECTED DATE

note: there was an error in the absr announcement--the actual event date is

Sunday, July 13!

i hope you can still attend this corrected date: if not, please change your sign-in.

the specifics on this year's event are not available yet. when they are, they will be included below. to get an idea of what sort of features are usually included, see the photos from past events below.

we will meet outside in front of the Administration Building at 9:45, and depart on foot at 10:00. if you don't see us in front of the Administration Building, check outside the Depot.

if you arrive late, and we are already gone, continue on the route yourself, from the map you receive when you sign in, and you will probably run into us. if we haven't met, i will be wearing a crimson hat with that says "Easthampton MA" on it. you may also call me at 773-415-0428

dear friends--

we invite you to an eclectic day of gardens, art, walking, maybe an outdoor lunch, and the fellowship of friendly, interesting folks.
together we will visit the Beverly Shores Residents Association 2025 Garden and Art Walk. we first took this walk in 2015 when my wife, Hilary's garden was one of the featured stops, and then again in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2024.

(details on this year's event will be added here when available.)

We hope to see you for a pleasant day of gardens and art.

we will visit the gardens and art displays on foot, for a hike of about 2-4 miles linking the locations. i will do at least part of the tour in my car. i can take up to 3 MASKED people on each leg.

i want to emphasize that signing up on my meetup site does not get you admission to the Garden Walk. you must sign up with the Garden Walk organizers too, at the website below to pre-order tickets, or else at the door.

for more information go to http://www.absr.org/. Check in at the Administration Building, on Broadway just north of the South Shore tracks on the day of the Walk for a map of the gardens and a wristband for admission, and parking passes and instructions.

when available later, you may pre-register here:

be sure to check the weather just before the hike so you can be prepared with whatever gear is necessary http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/Beverly+Shores+IN+46301 . bring at least a quart of water (two is better), and a snack you can eat on our rest stop. bring sunscreen, appropriate footwear, and a hat with a brim. bring a mask in case we may need one.

hope to see you there,

Rick and Erin

the South Shore train station has bathrooms and running water. please try to arrive by 9:45, go to The Depot in the train station, and either sign in or claim your wrist band if pre-registered. we will gather outside The Depot, and depart at 10:00.

if you can't find us, call me at 773-415-0428.
