Best Hummingbird Gardens in Middlesex County, Massachusetts

Garden in the Woods is the crown jewel of New England's native plant gardens — the largest landscaped collection of wildflowers in New England, containing more than 1,700 kinds of plants representing approximately 1,000 species, including over 200 rare and endangered native species. Founded in 1931 by self-taught botanist Will C. Curtis on 45 glacially sculpted acres in north Framingham, it is now the headquarters of Native Plant Trust. Because all plantings are native species maintained organically, the garden functions as a genuine wildlife sanctuary confirming regular ruby-throated hummingbird visits throughout summer and fall migration.
