Wayland is a peaceful community located in the MetroWest area of Massachusetts, situated at the halfway point between Boston and Worcester. While Wayland is located in an area that provides easily accessible shopping, sightseeing, dining and entertainment, the town itself remains a quiet bedroom community in a semi-rural setting with little industrial or commercial base.
It does have a great nursery called Russell's, with an abundance of indoor and outdoor plants, garden center, and farmer's market weekly, even in winter!
