SARATOGA SPRINGS — Yaddo will reopen its Gardens to the public on Monday, June 6, after more than a year of pandemic-related closure.
“We’re well aware of how much the Gardens at Yaddo mean to our community and to generations of visitors who come to them for solace, picnics, and often to capture the most significant moments in their lives, such as weddings and family photographs,” Yaddo President Elaina Richardson said, in a statement. “We look forward to seeing our garden volunteers who do such a remarkable job and to welcoming everyone back as we celebrate Yaddo’s Return.”
Deep inside the grounds of the arts colony meanwhile, and after carefully considering how best to ensure the health of artists and staff, Yaddo’s residency program for artists reopened in February 2021, with closed pods for predetermined periods of time. COVID-19 testing protocol for staff and guests resulted in Yaddo being able to remain Coronavirus-free throughout the year, according to the estate.
The reopening of the historic Gardens – which typically receives more than 60,000 visits annually - will coincide with a poetry event in the Gardens on the weekend of June 4-5. The event is free, but requires advance registration.
The Annual Summer Benefit will also mark its return this year, with a special night in the Mansion and on the Great Lawn on June 23. Guest performer(s) have not yet been announced.
