avid Gilson and his family welcome you to their hospitality and their passion for herbs. The Herb Lyceum at Gilson's, a masterfully renovated 19th century carriage house, is located in scenic and historic Groton, Massachusetts, on the grounds of the Gilson Family Homestead.

Featured in YANKEE Magazine as a New England Dining Destination

Four acres of beautiful and fragrant herb gardens, greenhouses, and flowering trees surround this charming country site. Originally designed to serve as an herbal school for the promotion of the useful plants, the Lyceum also provides a unique retreat to accommodate various functions ranging from business meetings and herbal dining to private parties.

Before dinner our guests may stroll the grounds and take a self guided tour of the fragrant gardens or sit under the hickory tree and enjoy the quiet solitude.

We know that you and your friends and/or associates will find the Herb Lyceum a warm and inviting place to spend a memorable occasion. Gift Certificates are available.

Please call for an appointment to tour the property.
