    Friday, November 27 – Sunday, December 20 – Massachusetts Horticultural Society’s Festival of Trees 2020

    As many of you know Festival of Trees will look different than in years past, we will be offering reserved, timed ticket entry limited to 22 guests for each session. With complimentary hot chocolate in hand, a dedicated tour leader will escort each group through Snow Village, TWO rooms of beautiful and whimsical holiday trees, and send you to the fire pits with packaged s’mores to roast at the end of the visit. Visits are limited to 1.5 – 2 hours to help ensure safe numbers and minimal interactions.  Your tour will not mix with other guests outside of your time slot so you can book with confidence that you will never be part of a large crowd. To give you a safe and secure experience tickets are extremely limited and we expect to sell out early.  As always, we will still raffle the trees off on the final Sunday, so come prepared to choose your favorites! We will open at 10am on November 27th and run Wednesday to Sunday, ending on December 20th. Advanced purchase of timed tickets is required for both Mass Hort members and general admission. Tickets will not be sold on site. Mass Hort members receive a discount on tickets, join today to receive your discount.

  • Friday, November 23 – Sunday, December 9 – Festival of Trees

    Massachusetts Horticultural Society’s Festival of Trees showcases dozens of trees and the Snow Village at Elm Bank for children and adults to enjoy. This annual festival takes place from the end of November through the first two weeks of December at Mass Hort’s The Gardens at Elm Bank, 900 Washington Street, Wellesley, MA 02482.

    The Festival of Trees, displayed in the Hunnewell Building, offers beautifully decorated holiday trees that are donated and decorated by local businesses, garden clubs, and individuals. Visitors “vote” with their raffle tickets, in hopes of being the tree winner at the end of the festival. Visitors can also enjoy the decorated buildings and grounds at The Gardens at Elm Bank with a stroll. For the young at heart, there are Santa Visits and other activities.

    Snow Village at Elm Bank is a wonderful addition to the holiday spirit of the Festival of Trees. Bill Meagher of Needham graciously donated the product of his thirteen year “hobby” of building Christmas villages and trains. It is a bit different each year as he continues to tweak the arrangement. Massachusetts Horticultural Society is delighted to share his enchanting displays with model trains winding through villages and vignettes, including Christmas in the City (Boston of course!), Fenway Park, and hundreds of decorated houses and lights. This amazing scenery in miniature is sure to get kids of all ages excited about the holiday season.

    Admission is $10 for visitors aged 12 and over, and Member admission is $8. Join Mass Hort at the Festival and get in free! The Festival is open November 23 through December 9, weather permitting: Wednesdays and Thursdays 4 – 8 p.m.; Friday through Sunday 10 a.m. – 8 p.m.; Sunday December 9 until 6 p.m.; Monday through Thursday mornings, by appointment, for senior group visits; Monday and Tuesday evenings, by appointment, for corporate events.
