In 1900, the founders of the Society for the Protection of Native Plants, which evolved into today's New England Wild Flower Society, had a compelling vision—a plant conservation organization to protect our native flora. Because of New England Wild Flower Society, native plants of New England are better protected and more appreciated than ever before. Today the Society is recognized as one of the nation's leading plant conservation organizations. The Society owns and operates Garden in the Woods, the largest landscaped collection of wildflowers in the Northeast. The 45-acre Garden, located in Framingham, MA, serves as New England's premier showcase of native plants and as a center for botanical and horticultural study and enjoyment. The Garden Shop sells native plants and eco-friendly tools and gifts. The Society owns and operates Nasami Farm, in Whately, MA, which produces native plants for sale for homeowners, landscape professionals, restoration projects, and towns. The sanctuary includes the Roaring Brook Riparian Restoration Walk where research in planting techniques are conducted.
