The mission of New England Wild Flower Society is to conserve and promote the region’s native plants to ensure healthy, biologically diverse landscapes.

Founded in 1900 as the Society for the Protection of Native Plants, New England Wild Flower Society is the nation’s oldest plant conservation organization and a recognized leader in native plant conservation, horticulture, and education. The Society’s headquarters, Garden in the Woods, is a renowned native plant botanic garden in Framingham, Massachusetts, that attracts visitors from all over the world. From this base, 25 staff and more than 700 volunteers work throughout New England to monitor and protect rare and endangered plants, collect and preserve seeds to ensure biological diversity, detect and control invasive species, conduct research, and offer a range of educational programs. The Society also operates a native plant nursery at Nasami Farm in western Massachusetts and has seven sanctuaries in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont that are open to the public.

About the Garden

Only 21 miles from Boston, Garden in the Woods is a unique botanic garden and the flagship property of the New England Wild Flower Society. With sharp, glacial ridges sloping into narrow valleys, its two miles of paths meander under a canopy of trees past a pond, a wooded bog, springs, and a brook. In these naturalistic settings, visitors encounter diverse native plants, both common and rare.

Our Garden Shop sells a beautiful selection of native plants as well as tools, gifts, snacks, and drinks. Enjoy a picnic on the patio outside the education building!
