The Artist Pass Program at Garden in the Woods
 |
New England Wildflower Society's Garden in the Woods offers 45-acres of hills, paths, a lily pond, a brook, and a variety of trees, over 1,000 native plant species, over 150 rare and endangered species and much more. Working at different times of the day and in different seasons, artists will explore the changing light and be inspired by the many colors, shapes, and combinations of flowers and trees in the Garden. They will investigate Garden in the Woods on many levels by focusing on the various habitats, fascinating native plants, plus rare and endangered species. By limiting the number of artists working on-site at any one time, the Artist Pass Program preserves the solitary experience of artists working in a location that supports conservation efforts within a living museum of native plants. ›› Learn more on New England Wild Flower Society’s website |
