End-of-Summer Celebrations

To celebrate the end of a great summer, Searle Design Group went on a field trip to Garden in the Woods in Framingham, MA and Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, MA.  

We explored the living museum at Garden in the woods - a collection of native new england plants and habitats set among varied terrain carved long ago by glaciers.

At Tower Hill we embarked on a guided tour with their Director of Horticulture who shared the history of the site and discussed the future of their sustainable management practices in the face of climate change.

Feast your eyes on some of the beautiful colors and textures we saw:

The Wheeler School at the Botanical Center

The Botanical Center Conservancy at Roger Williams Park organized the students from the Wheeler School to mulch and weed the gardens.  Taber Jossi Caton from SDG and a (Wheeler Alumna Class of '94)  worked with other volunteers and 90 students throughout the morning.  We would like the thanks the Wheeler School for all their energetic efforts to help maintain the Botanical Center. Happy Founder's Day!
