The 2011 season at Garden in the Woods! 

The 2011 season at Garden in the Woods was very exciting. Our Native BUZZ exhibit brought many new visitors to the Garden to learn about native plants, container gardening and much more. We designed and installed the first phase of the new Idea Garden with its Conservation Ring and stunning, new sculpture by Ben Caras. We look forward to Ben's solo show in the Garden in 2012. It will be a collaborative effort between Ben and the horticulture staff which will stretch all of our talents.

The 2012 season will be full of "ENERGY" with three sculpture shows in the Garden, four image shows (illustrations and photography) in the Gallery at Garden in the Woods, a new Family Activity Area, further work on the Idea Garden, in addition to our stunning collection of spring ephemerals, rare plants, and so much more.

Garden in the Woods remains open yearround for educational classes and courses. Please peruse our course catalog online and sign up for botany, conservation, horticulture, and just fun classes for adults and children. If you have a greater interest in native plants, please consider joining our Certificate in Native Plants program. We also offer classes at many other locations throughout New England if that is more convenient to where you live.

The Garden has joined other members of the American Public Gardens Association in support of the Let's Move initiative which promotes healthy food choices and exercise among America's youth. Our edible and herb gardens and food service contribute to this initiative as do our education programs and walking tours. Learn more at letsmove.gov.

We couldn’t be happier that you too are part of our growing community and we look forward to seeing you in 2012 at the Garden!

Sincerely,

Scott LaFleur, Botanic Garden Director
