OCEAN PARK PLANTS

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.” --John Muir

The following list of plants was compiled by Theodore Wells of the faculty of Milton (Mass) Academy, a member of the New England Botanical Club and an authority on our local botany. It is selected from the 13th and latest edition of the booklet, "The Plants of Ocean Park", prepared by Mr. Wells and assisted by Dorothy E. Wells.
