Tower Hill Botanic Garden

Tower Hill Botanic Garden is a botanical garden in Boylston, Massachusetts, spanning 132 acres with multiple themed sections throughout the grounds. The Lawn Garden features 350 species of trees and shrubs that frame a central grassy meadow.

The Worcester County Horticultural Society founded this garden in 1986 to advance horticultural science and practice. Development plans extend into the coming decades to continue growing its collections and facilities.

The garden arranges plants according to their evolutionary relationships, displaying how different plant families connect to one another through scientific organization. You can observe these connections firsthand as you walk through each themed section.

The Stoddard Education Center houses a theater, a historic horticultural library, a gift shop, and a café where you can rest and refresh. Pathways connect all garden sections and are accessible throughout the grounds.

The Frank L. Harrington Sr. Orchard preserves 238 apple trees representing 119 varieties from before the twentieth century. These older fruit varieties are difficult to find elsewhere and show how fruit farming looked generations ago.
