Do you remember the elation of the last day of school? Here in New England, June lobs up plenty of opportunities to feel the same child-like sense of exuberance, whether you’re enjoying simple pleasures like picking your own strawberries (we’ve got a vintage-look tee in our store that’s perfect for berry-farm outings) or heading to a Minor League Baseball game. As I look at my calendar for June, I’m astounded by the choices I’ll need to make.

Of all the months, May has the heaviest lift when it comes to transforming the New England landscape. More color emerges each day on the path from barren to blossoming, and it’s a treat to anticipate buds bursting into leaves, seemingly overnight. Nothing excites me more in May, though, than the release of Yankee‘s annual Travel Guide to New England. This year’s May/June issue is a keeper, filled with more travel ideas than you could possibly pack into one summer, even if you start this month.

Spring might officially arrive in March, but April is when the itch to road trip around New England really flares up. It’s also the month when our national PBS television show Weekends with Yankee begins its ninth broadcast season on public television stations nationwide. This year’s first episode takes you to Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, where this month’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the opening battles of the American Revolution is expected to draw unprecedented crowds.

There was a time when I drove through the gates of a 434-acre Hudson River estate each weekday, down an allée of black locusts that heralded the arboretum’s grand specimens. In any moment of work stress, I could step outside my office into the finest example of Andrew Jackson Downing’s landscape ideals. Those vistas, formal grounds, and woodland paths were a cure-all. Ever since, I’ve sought out historic gardens here in New England with power beyond their plantings.
