Framingham is a diverse community located in eastern Massachusetts, mid-way between Boston and Worcester and is considered the hub of the Metro-West region. Southborough and Marlborough border it on the west, Sherborn and Ashland on the south, Natick on the east and Sudbury on the north. The town of Framingham offers a unique blend of urban and rural qualities and has a vibrant retail area along Route 9, which is close to the quiet residential areas and the town common. Framingham also offers a variety of recreational activities from the many organized team sports leagues in town to the nationally renowned Garden in the Woods. Several special events are celebrated throughout the year, as well, with a major focus on Flag Day activities in June. The Garden in the Woods is developed by the New England Wildflower Society and features more than 1,500 varieties of plants, some that are native to other areas of the country and many rare and endangered species. Admission to the gardens is $7.00 and this includes a self-guided tour (or visitors can join a group tour at no extra cost.) The main trail is about one mile long and takes visitors though clusters of various wildflowers and vegetation, all marked with signs showing their names and origins. The Garden is open April through October.

Framingham Weather & Climate

Northeast Massachusetts has a humid continental climate with warm summers and cold, snowy winters. Rainfall averages 40 inches and is distributed fairly evenly throughout the year. Snowfall can exceed 100 inches in a season. Winter is cold in the northeast coastal region, but much colder further inland. Springs are usually wet and cloudy. Autumn is mild and comes earlier than other regions in the U.S. Extreme weather such as severe thunderstorms, nor'easters and hurricanes are a possibility. Hurricanes generally weaken to a tropical storm by the time they reach the state, however. A nor'easter is a winter storm with winds coming from the northeast that can bring heavy snow and strong winds.
