Tower Hill

I wish I went more often. If it wasn't an hour drive in both directions I probably would. My Mass Hort membership gets me free entry to the Tower Hill Botanical Garden in Boylston MA. It is totally worth the trip. I wish it opened a little earlier, but other than that wonderful place. It's even fun to visit very early in the year, due to the Orangerie, plenty of tropical plants to look over. Since it links to a wildlife pond and a few woodland trails it offers plenty of habitat for frogs, dragonflies and butterflies. Here are a few pics from the two times I've managed to go this year.
