While the hepaticas are blooming now, in another two months they will be gone. But, like the rest of the garden, something will be ready to take their place. When some of the earlier plants disappear, others will take their place. Further down the path, Pryor points to a small covering of Pixie Moss, which she said will become a carpet of white. As she rounds a bend, small birds swoop over the path as a lone butterfly flies into a view.
Spring is finally here.
Garden in the Woods is located at 180 Hemenway Road in Framingham. Open every day until June 15, Tuesday through Sunday from June 16 to Oct. 31. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with extended May hours until 7 p.m. The last Garden admission is one hour before closing. Waltham In sharp contrast to modern greenhouses with all the latest accessories, the old brick walls and slightly sloping floors of the Lyman Estate Greenhouses will take you back in history as they provide a treat to the eyes.
