Although March has come in like a lion, Smith College’s Lyman Conservatory is the perfect antidote to Western Massachusetts’ gray skies and chilled winds. Head to Smith today and take spring’s glorious promises which include an array of beauties like irises, hyacinths, crocuses, lilies, and tulips.  These flowers have been “coaxed into blooming simultaneously,” which is good because we need a little love and hope after that dastardly bomb cyclone.

The display is open to the public until March 18th  from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, the show is open until 8 p.m. The suggested donation is $5.00. If you’re a member, there are special hours: 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.  Call 413-585-2740 or visit www.smith.edu/garden for details.
