Garden in the Woods is the headquarters and botanic garden of the New England Wild Flower Society. This ever-changing living museum—New England’s premier wildflower garden—has more than 1,000 native plant species, with many rare and endangered native specimens throughout the gardens, as well as the unique New England Rare Plant Garden.
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.
