The “flowering plants” that get all our attention during the growing season have finally cleared the stage. It’s now time to see another group of plants shine.
Mount Auburn’s conifer collection is notable for its diversity (nearly 80 different types) and depth (more than 1,500 plants). Some of the specimens are truly unique for their great age, impressive size or rarity.
On Tuesday, February 15 at 1 pm, join Dennis Collins, Mount Auburn’s Horticultural Curator, for a walk to see and learn about some of the many conifers that make up this ancient and sometimes under-appreciated group of plants. $5 for Friends of Mt. Auburn, $10 non-members. Call 617-607-1982, or log on to www.mountauburn.org for more information, or to register.
