Arnold Arboretum

Arnold Arboretum Lilacs & the Swan Boats

Monday, May 19

The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is the oldest public arboretum in North America and one of the world's leading centers for the study of plants. A link in Boston’s Emerald Necklace of parks, the Arboretum is a unique blend of respected research institution and beloved public landscape. There are over 422 lilac plants of approximately 194 different varieties in the Arnold Arboretum collections. Together they provide a season of color and scent that extends over five weeks each spring. They may be known for their lilacs, but the arboretum features plants of all kinds from azaleas to magnolias. Our guide will take us on a fascinating walking tour of the arboretum sharing their horticultural knowledge along the way. Afterwards we’ll head to Quincy Market where you will have some free time for lunch & shopping. Then take a ride on Boston’s iconic Swan Boats in the Public Gardens. Please note this is a walking tour, please wear comfortable shoes and come dressed for the weather.
