Section Notes:

The Worcester County Horticultural Society, founded in 1842, established New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill in Boylston, MA as a horticultural resource-a place for people to experience the wonder of plants, learn about the natural world, and make joyful connections. Our doors opened in 1986 and we've continued to grow our mission, our footprint, and our role in the community ever since. Today's Garden sits on 200 acres. It includes conservatories, formal and naturalistic gardens, a cafe, Garden Shop, walking trails, accessible pathways, and expansive views of the Wachusett Reservoir. A nonprofit organization and AAM-accredited museum, we care for an irreplaceable collection of plants and place sustainability and environmental stewardship at the forefront of our work. A robust, year-round calendar of educational classes, activities, and events engages people of all ages in meaningful experiences with plants.

We're proud to be a garden where everyone belongs, where wandering is always welcome, and where no two visits will ever be quite the same.

Section Notes:

The Currier Museum in Manchester New Hampshire is the only art museum in the world with two Frank Lloyd Wright homes. Accessible by guided tour, they are the only Wright buildings open to the public in New England. Both were built in the 1950s when Wright's domestic architecture reshaped American home design. The Usonian Automatic and the Zimmerman House express two equally beautiful visions through their closely related designs and contrasting materials.
