Valentine's Day Comes Alive at Tower Hill Botanic Garden
|
BOYLSTON, Mass.-With Valentine's Day around the corner, romance is in the air and nowhere more so than at Tower Hill Botanic Garden, an exciting destination for first dates, a stunningly beautiful and award-winning wedding site and, according to the Boston Globe, one of the most romantic settings for a proposal in all of New England.
What makes this sprawling Boylston, Massachusetts playground so romantic? With 132 acres of garden paradise set amidst the rolling hills of bucolic Boylston, Massachusetts, Tower Hill offers a bevy of romantic attractions for couples and proposal-makers (and receivers).
Year-round romantic attractions include:
- Favorite proposal spots such as the woodsy and ethereal Inner Park; statues of Eros and Cupid; the Summit; and the Orangerie, a greenhouse specifically recommended by the Globe:
"Take your love to this 18th century greenhouse, where flowers bloom year round. Bananas, palms, orchids, lemons, exotic flowers and oranges thrive in this beautiful garden," the newspaper declared in its recent "Best Spots to Propose in New England" feature.
Worcester resident Troy Thompson, for one, chose the Summit for his marriage proposal to now-wife, Tamisha. In a display of genuine romance and creativity, Thompson brought her to the Summit then showed her a photo album of many of the places they'd dated, with the last page picturing him at Tower Hill, proposing to her. What's more, Tower Hill was where they shared their first kiss!
"It was the perfect setting to propose to her," he recalled. "Nature is a big part of our lives, so Tower Hill was a perfect fit."
Valentine's Day, in particular, fills Tower Hill Botanic Garden with romance. Some of the events and promotions planned for Valentine's Day 2013 include:
- A free chocolate gift for the first 25 couples who visit on February 14.
- A special guided tour that describes the powerful language of flowers and romance.
- Valentine's Day-themed menu at Tower Hill's own Twigs Caf�.
- A Valentine's Day section in the shop, including the featured Top 5 Romantic Gifts for Gardeners.
Tower Hill Botanic Garden is indeed a year-round treasure, but Valentine's Day is particularly special. To learn more, visit TowerHillBG.org, or stop by any time!
