Save the Date: Mrs. Greenthumbs Day

As you all know by now, Punxsutawney Phil did not see this shadow today—auguring an early spring. But even before the furry prognosticator was rousted from his cozy burrow this morning, the organizers of Mrs. Greenthumbs Day, the maybe biennial, maybe sporadic garden tour honoring the memory of Cassandra Danz, Hudson's most talented, most exuberant, and most famous gardener, were already thinking of spring and of gardens and decided to bring back the event this summer. The date has been set—Sunday, July 17—and the invitation is extended to the gardeners of Hudson to include their gardens on the tour.

Mrs. Greenthumbs Day has always been the most democratic of garden tours. People with gardens they love, work hard at, and are proud of open their gardens to fellow gardeners, gardener wannabes, and garden appreciators. The event offers the rare opportunity to view gardens hidden behind buildings and fences and to get inside gardens that can only be tantalizing glimpsed from the street. 

If you want your garden to be part of this very special day in Hudson, just send an email to Gossips letting us know your willingness to have your garden on the tour.
