New England Wild Flower Society celebrates the extraordinary during the fourth annual Trillium Week, May 5-11, 2019 at Garden in the Woods in Framingham, MA. Known for their delicate beauty, trilliums are woodland plants highly prized by both gardeners and conservationists, in part because even in the wild it takes four to seven years for the plants to reach flowering age.
Trillium Week- which also coincides with peak bloom time for many other beautiful spring plants at the Garden- features guided tours, a workshop on propagating trilliums, and an evening of music and craft beer. Several species of trillium will also be available in limited numbers for purchase at the Garden’s shop. For more information about Trillium Week, please visit www.newenglandwild.org.
THE TRILLIUM COLLECTION AT GARDEN IN THE WOODS
The trillium collection at the Society’s Garden in the Woods is the most extensive in New England, with twenty-one of the thirty-one species native to North America, including three of the four species native to the region. It has earned coveted national accreditation by the American Public Gardens Association’s Plant Collections Network, which recognizes the botanical integrity of the collection and the Society’s effective stewardship and management.
