Despite what seems to be, so far, a mostly snowless winter, Tower Hill Botanic Garden will hold its first annual Winter Carnival on Saturday, February 25, from 10am-4pm. Admission to the Carnival is included with regular admission to the Garden.

With or without snow, all kinds of activities will delight children and families of all ages. Programs will include indoor and outdoor scavenger hunts, live Alpacas from Great Rock Alpacas of Barre, Mass., outdoor winter games, ice sculpture demos by Rhode Island artist Sean Harrington, guided walks focused on finding animal tracks, spotting winter birds, and identifying trees in winter.

Children's crafts and a Music Together Family 'Jingle Jam' will round out the day. If the 'white stuff' does indeed make an appearance, visitors will have the opportunity to create snow sculptures and snowshoes will be available for rent. Popcorn and hot cider or cocoa will also be available.

Whatever the conditions, Tower Hill's Orangerie, Limonaia, and Winter Garden are always a delight, in addition to the beautiful woodland trails.

Tower Hill Botanic Garden is the home of the Worcester County Horticultural Society, incorporated in 1842 for the purpose of 'advancing the science, and encouraging and improving the practice of horticulture.' Located on 133 acres of garden paradise in bucolic Boylston, Massachusetts, the Garden hosts educational programs, exhibits, shows, and special events throughout the year.
