New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill – New Name, New Garden

by

You probably know this by now, but Tower Hill Botanic Garden is now New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill. The press release says :

“Our new name is not about redefining who we are as a horticultural society and a Garden but embracing who we have become and opening up the possibilities to be more. Our members, visitors, and supporters have long cherished us as a beautiful place, a horticultural resource, and a place for recreation and rejuvenation. Now it is time to extend those opportunities to the whole region. In honor of our history and the fact that our Garden opened in 1986 on Tower Hill Farm in Boylston, we have kept “Tower Hill” as part of the name. As New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill, we want to keep delivering our mission: to create experiences with plants that inspire people and improve the world.” The new logo, an apple blossom in an arch, represents the historic apple orchard, a signature plant collection at the Garden. And the arch in the logo celebrates the beautiful arches that you can find around our Garden throughout its architectural features.
