2024 Lilac Season Review: Blooms were spectacular this year in the exhibit garden. Spring was beautiful, slow and gentle, not too hot and we had plenty of rain. We were open from Mother’s Day till June 2 and had the pleasure of meeting many new lilac lovers and enjoyed seeing familiar faces too. Thanks to everyone for making it a wonderful, joyous and very gratifying experience.
Typically we are open everyday during the big bloom season, 10am -4pm. During this time we give tours of the grounds, Nursery and Perfumery. The ancient Art of Enfleurage is ongoing with lilacs, peonies, hyacinth, and other flowers, and may be viewed in action at the Perfumery. After blooms are finished, usually by second week of June, we are open only by appointment. Currently the Nursery and Perfumery are still open by appointment till September 15. Many varieties of lilacs are still available in many colors, and are on special end-of-season discount sale.
Please call to schedule a visit, Dana, 518-368-2400, or Charle-Pan 518-366-3400.
When visiting the farm, please stop by and take a whiff of what’s going on inside the Perfumery! Lilac oil and perfumes made on site may be available at special rates.
Tours, talks, plein air drawing and painting, photo shoots, marriage ceremonies, and garden club meetings, may be scheduled throughout the bloom season. Inquire about our Perfumery and Enfleurage Workshops, and continuing education units for Aromatherapists.
