Massachusetts Horticultural Society
About
The Massachusetts Horticultural Society is a nonprofit that describes its work as being for the public good, helping people change their lives and communities for the better through growing plants together. Its home is The Garden at Elm Bank in Wellesley, which is open to visitors daily. Seasonal displays and blooming landscapes change through the year, and the garden is the base for the society’s classes, events and community programs.
Education is a large part of the society’s work. Hands-on workshops and virtual courses cover topics such as native gardening, botanical art and design, so participants can learn in person or from home. People can also join its horticultural community for a year of gardens, plants and flowers. Beyond classes, The Garden at Elm Bank hosts public events and is available for weddings and private events.
