Location

Drop-off and pick-up are outdoors at Massachusetts Horticultural Society (MassHort). The address is 900 Washington Street, Wellesley, MA.

We spend our days in the forest and gardens. The children are active participants in selecting which places we visit and how we explore them. Click here for a video of the extraordinary gardens at MassHort.
