Garden in the Woods

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

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.’
