How you help

Volunteering at Tower Hill is a great way to learn more about plants and meet new people with similar interests in a beautiful environment. Our volunteers are the lifeblood of Tower Hill Botanic Garden.

About us

We are operated on 171 acres by the Worcester County Horticultural Society, one of the oldest of its kind in the country, and are open to the public for garden viewing, trail walking, activities, private events, classes, weddings, exhibitions, and more. We are an AAM-accredited museum that includes an irreplaceable collection of plants. At Tower Hill, we hope to engage you in our life-long passion for growing plants for their ornamental, economic, and ecological value.
