The Native Plant Trust (formerly the New England Wild Flower Society) conserves and promotes New England’s native plants to ensure healthy, biologically diverse landscapes. Garden in the Woods is a botanic garden that showcases rare and common native plants in a woodland setting. The meadow garden will be in full late summer display on September 10, featuring gray goldenrod and New England aster. The Garden Club of the Back Bay is a member supporter of the Native Plant Trust.

Club members will meet at 9 am in front of 330 Beacon Street to carpool to the Garden, located at 180 Hemenway Road in Framingham. The tour will begin at 10, and we will return by 2 pm. Club members have received an email notification and must rsvp by September 3 to Karen Solberg. Click here if you have not already done so, and let her know if you need a ride, are willing to carpool, or plan to meet the group at Garden in the Woods. She is also arranging for an optional lunch with two choices ($15) of sandwiches. Karen will send details when you respond.
