On Sunday, May 12 from 10 to 4 p.m. visitors can enjoy an afternoon outdoors, strolling the private gardens of the Hanford family at Sycamore Hill Gardens located at 2130 Old Seneca Turnpike in Marcellus.
The garden tour is a one-of-a-kind outdoor event enjoyed by hundreds of Central New York families for over 20 years.
From April 16 through May 10, ticket prices will be $15 for individuals ages 9 and up.

Guests will have the chance to meander through more than 30 acres of expansive manicured and woodland gardens complete with over 700,000 beautiful flowering bulbs and hundreds of varieties of trees and shrubs. Featured in the I Love NY Blooms Report, Sycamore Hill Gardens provides a stunning array of a variety of gardens and interactive spaces including a hedge maze and a stone garden for families to enjoy. This year, in the greenhouse, guests can browse and purchase a selection of plants that Sycamore Hill Gardens uses on its property.
In addition to all the natural wonders to explore, Baltimore Woods will be hosting a raffle in the barn where guests and their families can purchase tickets to enter to win great local prizes.
