Northampton, Massachusetts, has been dubbed one of the best small towns in America. Here's just one of the reasons why: The Smith College Botanic Garden. With a desert room, a fern room, an orchid room and more, it's fun to visit year-round. But it's especially spectacular during the Spring Bulb Show (shown here; this year through March 18) and the Fall Chrysanthemum Show (Nov 3 to 18).
