The Arnold Arboretum proves the perfect classroom for renegade botanist Diana Beresford-Kroeger. She will lead you among trees from around the globe, describing their subtle and not so subtle qualities that contribute to the environment. Mixing lore and chemistry, fact and theory, Diana will broaden your understanding of the inherent importance of trees to the lives of all on this planet. The walk will take place Thursday, May 20, from 2 – 4, and you should meet at the Hunnewell Building at the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain. The program is co-sponsored by the Wellesley College Friends of Horticulture and the fee is $25 for Arboretum members and Wellesley College Friends of Horticulture, $30 for the general public.
