Acreage Holdings, Inc. announced the December 21st opening of The Botanist cannabis dispensary in Worcester, MA at 65 Pullman Street. The Botanist is the new brand for Acreage's nationwide retail footprint of dispensaries as well as a branded line of carefully curated cannabis products that will soon be sold in them. The Botanist presents a unique experiential design, blending nature and science in an immersive retail environment that is inspired by 19th Century laboratories, greenhouses and the study of botany. The Botanist will offer a selection of the best cannabis products, including flower, vape cartridges, edibles, concentrates and tinctures. A family of proprietary The Botanist cannabis products are currently in development and will soon debut at the store. The Worcester Botanist is the first of three Botanist locations that are expected to open in Massachusetts, with locations in Leominster and Shrewsbury expected to open in the coming months. Offering a sensory experience from the moment a customer enters the dispensary, The Botanist retail location immerses visitors in an environment reminiscent of visiting the greenhouse laboratory of a 19th Century botanist. The Botanist encourages curiosity and brings customers closer to the plant and its healing properties, with design elements that include a lush botanical wall, weathered wood, bell jars for showcasing product, a "seed bar" education station and much more.
