Travel Guide

Expand your green horizons with a trip to one of the following:


Garden in the Woods
Framingham, Massachusetts, 508-877-7630, newfs.org
The New England Wild Flower Society’s headquarters and forty-five-acre botanical garden showcase shrubs, trees, ferns, native plants, including many rare and en-dangered specimens, and a rich collection of wild flowers. Early May is prime viewing time for spring blooms.

Logee’s Greenhouses
Danielson, Connecticut, 888-330-8038, logees.com
Logee’s markets more than 1,000 varieties of tropical container plants, both new types (like the sassy ‘Vera Pink’ bougainvillea this season) and heirloom. Edible and fruiting plants, geraniums and pelargoniums, plants for patio and sunroom; the greenhouses are chock full.

Weston Nurseries
Hopkinton, Massachusetts, 508-435-3414, westonnurseries.com
An eighty-five-year-old nursery with a bounty of lovely trees, shrubs and perennials all suited to New England makes for good browsing. The original owner, Peter J. Mezitt, is responsible for introducing the two popular rhododendrons, ‘PJM’ and ‘Olga Mezitt.’
