The Elm Bank Horticulture Center is the home of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, located at 900 Washington Street (Route 16), Wellesley, Massachusetts, U.S. The former estate grounds of Dr. William Hewson Baltzell includes open fields and meadows, streams and pools, wooded areas and formal gardens. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts currently owns this 182-acre site that includes woodlands, fields, and streams, while the Department of Conservation and Recreation maintains it as a nature reserve with a trail system.

The former seminary at Elm Bank is the nexus of a sexual abuse scandal involving the Catholic priests and others assigned there in the 1950s and 60s: archive.boston.com/globe/spotlight/abuse/stories2/08100...
