Last year we opened the gardens early, extending our hours and days as well as lengthening our open season. We became the heart of our community in a way we never had before. Our visitation numbers doubled as guests from all over Massachusetts came for the safe and open spaces. They truly appreciated the power, peace and connectedness of a beautiful garden. We have, once again, opened early and extended our hours and garden season.

Please make a contribution to our Garden Opening Fund and give us the help we need to continue maintaining and improving our gardens and guests’ experience. Thank you!

Imagining the Future

In 2017 Mass Hort embarked on a Master Planning process to help focus our programs and gardens for the next twelve years to our 200th anniversary.

Kyle Zick, Landscape Architect and his team of consultants are leading the research and planning of our Bicentenary Master Plan. We have heard from many members, neighbors, and constituencies.

Please get involved! Your participations and/or financial support will help move Mass Hort forward in the 21st Century. To learn more, call 617-933-4955 or click below.
