The Massachusetts Horticultural Society is a nonprofit organization focused on expanding public enjoyment, understanding, and appreciation of plants, gardens, design, and environmental topics. Based near Boston in Wellesley, Massachusetts, it operates the Gardens at Elm Bank in Dover and maintains educational programming for adults and children that addresses plant knowledge, sustainability, health, and stewardship of the natural world. The organization serves a broad audience through garden experiences, tours, and classes, and sustains its mission through member and donor support without state or federal funding. Open seasonally, The Gardens at Elm Bank welcome visitors and provide free or reduced admission for members and children, while membership offers reciprocal admissions, discounts, and access to special events. Since its founding in 1829, Mass Hort has positioned itself as a cultural and educational resource within the regional horticultural community, hosting events and collaborations with other organizations and contributing to the preservation and interpretation of historic and contemporary garden design.
