Daffodil Days @ Blithewold

Each April, Blithewold opens its gates to welcome visitors as springtime begins.  The season starts with  a well-known daffodil display covering the 33 acre estate with over 50,000 daffodils.  This is a great opportunity to kick the cold weather to the curb and enjoy the colorful outdoor landscape on this amazing property.  
Blithewold is a summer estate with grand views of Narragansett Bay and is nationally significant in American history as one of the most fully developed and authentic example of the Country Place Era.  The property features a 45 room mansion filled with family heirlooms, and is framed by a series of beautiful gardens that range in character from mysterious to exotic and from poetic to practical.  Their exceptional collection of rare and unusual plants, specimen trees, an accessible greenhouse, and whimsical stonework project a character that is romantic, fresh and inspiring.  
Pick ups will be at Putnam and Hillcrest Villages at 10:15AM and we’ll head to Bristol, RI where we can take self guided tours of the gardens as well as the mansion.  Lunch will be served at Blithewold.  Please be sure to let us know your choice of sandwich when you sign up (smoked turkey, roast beef, chicken pesto or tuna salad). After lunch we will stop in downtown Bristol where you will have an opportunity to do some shopping or just peruse through the eclectic downtown shops.  We anticipate being home by 4PM.
Price for this trip is only $55 / person. Pricing includes transportation, lunch and  self guided tours.  Friends and family are welcome.  Please sign up and pay no later than March 17th. Payment is due at time of signup.  As always, all sales are final.
