About Us
New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill is a garden destination and horticultural resource in the heart of New England. We are operated on 200 acres by the Worcester County Horticultural Society, one of the oldest of its kind in the country. Today’s Garden includes conservatories, formal and naturalistic gardens, walking trails, accessible pathways, space for weddings and private events, a café, Garden Shop, and expansive views of the Wachusett Reservoir. This year New England Botanic Garden was voted “Best Botanic Garden in the U.S.” by TravelAwaits. 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. New England Botanic Garden is proud to be a place where everyone belongs, where wandering is always welcome, and where no two visits will ever be the same.
