Lovely woodland garden with well maintained walking paths. Great native plant shop to buy anything that caught your eye, plus a cafe and gift shop. Highly recommended!

Calm, peaceful and a wonderful place to hang out. Beautiful greenery with decent walking trails. Be sure to visit if you want a relaxing park with some good photo spots. I've loved my walk every time here. One of my favorite weekend spots!

Well maintained and it is a nice spot to visit at least once. If you have kids, it'll probably be a very nice day trip. I was lucky enough to go and see some blooms around. Plus, the turtles were adorable.

🌱 Hi highly recommend this place if you're looking for a beautiful short nature getaway, expecially in the spring and fall and if you love local plant life! I went last month in may for my birthday and had a lovely time getting to see all the local flowers in bloom 🌸 The staff was just so sweet and helpful and was happy to chat about the place and give us tips on what trails to take. There's lots of different habitats set up showing off the local plant life to appreciate. I definitely want to come back with a sketchbook to really appreciate the sanctuary more! Make sure to reserve your tickets online in advance and I hope you have a lovely time too 🌼❤️

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Hi Beth, We do have a variety of native grasses that grow in shade. Garden in the Woods and the plant sales area opens for the season Sunday, April 17, 2022. In the meantime you can take a look at our Plant Availability List: http://www.nativeplanttrust.org/for-your-garden/buy-native-plants/ and Garden Plant Finder tool: https://plantfinder.nativeplanttrust.org/Plant-Search

Can I get into Garden in the Woods, with my Towerhill membership?

Paul Fiske | Sep 30, 2021
Bertha Tang | Sep 30, 2021

GitW enforces the 90 mile exclusion zone, so probably not. Tower Hill botanic garden does not enforce it, so you can get into Tower Hill with a GitW membership. At least that's what the clerk at GitW told us.

When do the rhododendrons bloom at Garden in the Woods? Is there a way to speak with someone who works with the plants you sell? Or do you have a list of native plants you sell? Finding natives is difficult from nurseries when one is a novice.

I would call. The staff seems quite knowledgeable.

Are you handicapped Accessible? Trails easy for walkers/scooters?

Patty Gamelin | Aug 27, 2017
Talia Flah | Aug 27, 2017

Depends... I was able to walk it with a stroller, so a stronger scooter would probably work. Walkers would be a little more difficult, as there are some roots etc you might have trouble getting over or hills that would be a bit steepish.
