Tower Hill Botanic Garden

Tower Hill Botanic Garden's annual Winter Open House is on Sunday, November 15, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is FREE. With the theme, "Always in Season," the event highlights the activities at Tower Hill that take place throughout the year. Volunteers and staff members will answer questions about members...hip, private rentals, educational programs, youth programs, volunteering, horticulture, special events, and future development of Tower Hill--including the current construction project underway. Visitors may browse the Gift Shop's latest holiday merchandise, including ornaments, gifts, gourmet foods, garden tools and books, clothing, and more. Visitors will also enjoy a huge raffle drawing with exciting prizes. Executive Director John Trexler will lead a tour of the grounds at 2:00 p.m.

From 11am to 3pm, members of the Bay State African Violet Society will offer an African Violet re-potting clinic; for just $1 per plant, "leggy" and rubber-necked African Violets will be divided and re-potted with fresh soil and a new pot, along with expert violet growing advice and tender loving care.

In addition, year-long memberships to the Garden will be offered at a 10% discount through December 30. Members of Tower Hill receive a discount on shop purchases, discounts on classes and programs, and gain free admission. A membership to Tower Hill makes a wonderful holiday gift, and will be available for purchase during the Open House.
