New England Botanic Garden At Tower Hill

New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill is the home of the Worcester County Horticultural Society, the third oldest organization of its kind in the country. The society purchased Tower Hill Farm in Boylston in 1986 and has been building a beautiful year-round botanic garden on its 171 acres ever since. The property is named after the surveying tower that was perched on the highest elevation of the property during the construction of the Wachusett Reservoir, which during the day can be seen from several spots including a wooded trail and the terrace for the Farmer & The Fork Cafe. New England Botanic Garden is home to a prized collection of plants, from flowers to shrubbery to trees, expertly cared for by a dedicated team of professional horticulturists and supported by the staff and volunteers who help make Tower Hill the vibrant organization and destination that it is. New England Botanic Garden commits itself to its mission to: Inspire the use and appreciation of horticulture to improve lives, enrich communities and strengthen commitment to the natural world.
