Urban Safari : Wellesley College Botanical Gardens and Greenhouses

Inspired by some reader emails about “Indoor Blooms” around Boston, we took a short trip out to Wellesley College to visit their Botanical Gardens and Greenhouses this morning. The greenhouses have plants from a variety of habitats around the world, with a special emphasis on plants of cultural significance as food or spice.

We didn’t pay much attention to the specific species of plants, but just took photos of what caught our eye as we wandered through the various enclosures. We can highly recommend this trip for anyone tired of the Boston Winter and are hoping to get a glimpse of Spring!
