The Herb Lyceum at Gilson's

The Herb Lyceum at Gilson's is a working 4-acre farm in Groton, Massachusetts, operated by the Gilson family since the 1800s. The property features herb gardens inspired by Provence and Tuscany, a converted greenhouse dining space, and a reception tent for celebrations. The venue specializes in farm-to-table cuisine prepared by Chef Andre, with family-style multi-course dinners showcasing local New England ingredients. The grounds include pathways through fragrant herb gardens, flowering trees, sunken gardens, and a farmhouse surrounded by cultivated landscapes. The venue is supported by Chef Will Gilson of Puritan & Co. in Cambridge, who grew up on the farm and continues the family tradition of creative presentations featuring fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. The Herb Lyceum provides wedding packages designed for a seamless experience from planning through the wedding day or weekend.
