No visit to Falmouth in the spring would be complete without a visit to Spohr Gardens. The Gardens are six tranquil acres of woodland situated on Oyster Pond with views of Nantucket Sound and Martha’s Vineyard in the distance. Open year around, the high season is definitely spring, which brings thousands of daffodils, followed by azaleas, rhododendrons and then daylilies.
Each year, the Gardens celebrates Daffodil Days, which in 2012 will take place on April 21 and 28. There will be guided tours, activities for children and the opportunity to purchase Spohr Gardens merchandise. You can even take home a piece of the Gardens by purchasing plants from there. Your purchase will help to support the upkeep and maintenance of the Gardens and the volunteer efforts of the Friends of Spohr Gardens.

About a half an hour drive from Falmouth are the Heritage Museums and Gardens
in Sandwich. The site is made up of three galleries and 100 acres of gardens, lawns and outdoor spaces. While the gardens are pleasant year-round, there may be no better time of year to pay a visit than springtime. Many varieties of daffodils, crab-apple and other flowering trees, and rhododendrons, including the dramatic Dexter Rhododendrons, are highlights of the spring season.
Even if the weather doesn’t cooperate, there’s plenty to do and see at the Gardens. Permanent exhibits include the American Art & Carousel Gallery, which houses a 1912 working carousel, and the Automobile Gallery, a replica of the Shaker Round Barn in Hancock, Massachusetts, which showcases a collection of antique automobiles. A Special Exhibitions Gallery features a series of traveling exhibitions. The 2012 season kicks off with Norman Rockwell: Beyond the Easel, which opens on May 5th.
Spend a leisurely and delightful day at the Heritage Museums and Gardens and you’ll be back in Falmouth in plenty of time for dinner!
