Spring arrives in full color at It’s About Thyme Farm as the beloved Adirondack nursery and creative hub hosts its 2026 opening day on Friday, May 1, from 12 pm – 8 pm.

Set just a short drive from Gore Mountain and the Schroon Lake region, this seasonal kickoff blends gardening, local food, and artisan craftsmanship into one distinctly Adirondack experience.

For travelers and locals alike, it’s less of an event and more of a seasonal ritual—the unofficial moment when the Adirondacks collectively exhale from winter and lean into spring.

A spring tradition in the Adirondacks.

Opening day at It’s About Thyme Farm signals more than the return of warm weather. It marks the reopening of one of the region’s most charming destinations for plants, gifts, and slow wandering.

It's about thyme farm greenhouse — One of the farm’s greenhouses.

Guests can stroll through greenhouses filled with vibrant annuals, hardy perennials, and unique plant varieties suited to Adirondack gardens. Every corner of the nursery reflects a careful balance of curated selection and natural abundance—appealing to seasoned gardeners and casual visitors alike.

There’s also a creative edge here. The farm’s glass art offerings add an unexpected layer, turning a typical nursery visit into something closer to an outdoor gallery experience.

Food, flowers, and a new specialty shop.

New for 2026, the farm is also debuting its specialty food store. Visitors can browse a curated selection of gourmet ingredients, locally sourced goods, and international treats. It’s a natural extension of the farm’s ethos—thoughtful, high-quality, and rooted in a sense of discovery.
