Winter nights mean warm lights at two regional botanical gardens

Tower Hill Botanic Gardens Winter Reimagined

November may seem an odd time to think about botanic gardens, but two of southern New England’s best-known tempt us outdoors with colorful holiday events from Thanksgiving to New Years.

Tower Hill Botanical Gardens in Boylston, MA, for instance, holds an evening festival of lights called “Winter Reimagined.” They wrap about 30 acres of trees and shrubs in LED lights, hold marshmallow roasts, and open their greenhouses to thousands of night visitors.
