How to Support or Stay Updated with Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens from Afar

Updated

You can stay connected to Annapolis Royal Historic Gardens without visiting in person through two main channels: subscribing to the Bloom Report email for seasonal bloom photos, event news, and updates, and supporting the Gardens remotely via the Gardens Shop (online purchase of gifts, tickets, and donations) or the "Donate Today" option on the website. The Gardens is owned and operated by a charitable organization, so remote support directly helps sustain its 17 acres.

Stay Updated: The Bloom Report

The Bloom Report is the Gardens' direct email newsletter. According to the site, it features:

  • A selection of current photos
  • Information about the current state of bloom
  • Upcoming events and other news

Past Bloom Reports are also available to browse, so you can look back at how the Gardens change across different seasons. A "SUBSCRIBE NOW" link is provided for signing up.

How to subscribe:

  1. Go to the Bloom Report subscription page linked from the website.
  2. Enter your email address to sign up.
  3. Expect periodic emails with bloom status, photos, and event announcements.

If you want to see what the emails look like before committing, review the archived past Bloom Reports first.
