Smith College Bulb Show: An Early Burst of Spring in Northampton, Massachusetts
According to the calendar, spring is still officially two weeks away. One look at the drab New England landscape, and it’s obvious our wait may actually be much longer. Yet, as it has for a century, spring has erupted early in Northampton, Massachusetts, where the Smith College Bulb Show runs through March 21. I was at the show’s opening yesterday, and I have to tell you: I don’t think you’ll find a better way to spend $2 in New England this month. As you’ll see from my photos… and learn from the comments I overheard… Smith students and faculty have outdone themselves this year, and while we’ve had a spell of mild weather, a walk through this display of more than 5,000 blooms will delight your senses and provide you with fragrant memories to call upon when the weather turns brisk again.
While You’re in Northampton… Go Shopping!
