Garden in the Woods is the headquarters and botanic garden of the New England Wild Flower Society.

Throughout the seasons, the Garden in the Woods displays more than 1600 kinds of wildflowers and native plants including more than 200 rare or endangered species.

They have also ramped up their family friendly events and activities - many of their exhibits are fun for children of all ages - and parents too.

Plants are on sale from mid-April through September at Garden in the Woods Nursery - now the largest native plant nursery in New England.
