Habitat: Garden of the Woods

Garden in the Woods is a native botanical garden spread throughout a forested area. From their website:

"More than a century ago, when ecology was a new word, our founders organized what is now called Native Plant Trust to stop the destruction of native plants. Today, as native plants face the greatest wave of threats since the last mass extinction, we are still a national leader in native plant conservation, horticulture, and education. We save native plants in the wild, grow them for gardens and restorations, and educate others on their value and use.

We are based in Framingham, Massachusetts, at Garden in the Woods, a renowned native plant botanic garden that attracts visitors from all over the world. Each year, our 25 staff members and many of our 1,500 trained volunteers work throughout New England to:

-monitor, protect, and restore rare and endangered plants
-collect and bank seeds for biological diversity
-detect and control invasive species
-conduct botanical and horticultural research
-educate the public, from home gardeners to professional land managers "
