One of my favorite things at the library is the museum pass program. I have never lived in a city in Massachusetts that does not have the program. The museum pass program allows people to visit local museums and attractions for free or discounted admission. I am lucky, as I have several library cards from living in different parts of the state, so I have many attractions to choose from.
Today I visited the Tower Hill Botanical Garden in Boylston, MA. Total cost $6
From Trip Advisor: Tower Hill Botanic Garden is New England's year-round botanic garden, a living museum of plants exquisite in every season. Several distinctive gardens arrange plants according to an overall Master Plan, that includes a Lawn Garden, Secret Garden, Systematic Garden, Cottage & Vegetable Garden, Wildlife Refuge Pond, Winter Garden, and more. Two conservatories--the Orangerie and the Limonaia--display non-hardy plants in winter, with blooming flowers in every season. Springtime brings more than a quarter million flowering bulbs, including a signature field of more than 25,000 daffodils.

I ended up purchasing a membership to this place as I know I will be visiting often. I used my student ID for the discounted rate of $25. They deducted my $6 from today, making the total cost for a year round membership $19. Not a bad deal.
