Description

Tower Hill is the first and only comprehensive botanic garden in New England.  This is not just a garden, you could have lunch at the Twigs Cafe, go to an art exhibit, a concert, a flower show.  This is a happening kinda place.


A field of daffodils, between the Systematic Garden and the Wildlife Refuge Pond, mostly planted by volunteers, and now contains nearly 25,000 bulbs, with several different varieties of daffodils that bloom in succession from April to May.


Tower Hill has eight distinct gardens, dedicated to woody plants, vegetables, plant systematics, winter interest, fruits, perennials and wildlife.


The Orangerie and Limonaia house non-hardy plants from around the world, with an emphasis on those from the southern hemisphere and Mediterranean region.


Tower Hill offers a Secret Garden, entered through a classically designed double pergola, from which proceeds a pair of curved stairs that flank a water feature, and lead into a secluded area overlooking the orchard.


There's so much to see.
