I don't know about you, but right about now i'm needing some green (although I could always use a bit more dinero-i'm talking tree green).
The Tower Hill Botanic Garden is just what I had in mind. About 40 minutes from Boston, in Boylston, MA. it was a great discovery full of visuals for the eye. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

Inside the door of the Orangeria you are hit with a jolt of humid musty air. It was just the blast I was looking for to take me on a mental journey south, out of the winter doldrums.
There is a lovely cafe complete with fireplace for lunch, and a selection of educational programs with everything from aromatherapy,floral design and cooking to gardening and painting. Much of what is offered has an eco friendly vibe. I look forward to visitng in good weather when I can take advantage of the expansive outdoor gardens and trails.
