Dear Friends of Tower Hill,As we approach the 175th anniversary of the Worcester County Horticultural Society, the third oldest active horticultural society in the United States, we have much to celebrate. In the months and years ahead, we will continue to build on a shared legacy of making the world a better place by connecting people with plants. We join in celebrating the extraordinary achievements of our past, the opportunities of our present, and the promise of our future. Whether visiting, volunteering, attending our fall gala, browsing the Garden Shop, taking a course or enjoying a meal, I thank you for your support and participation.

See you on the hill.
