Saturday, September 24, 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm – Digging Deeper: The Arnold Arboretum by Design
The Arnold Arboretum exists by design. As a freely accessible, public landscape in the heart of Boston, this 280-acre natural preserve, was set aside from development for a thousand years through the careful negotiations between Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles Sprague Sargent, and the Parks department in 1872. This Garden Conservancy tour on September 24 from 4 – 6 will describe the newest landscape projects at the Arnold, from elevated boardwalks to refined entrances, as each project is predicted on a history of great design in the public realm. We will discuss historic and present plans that ensure future access to one of the most renowned living collections in the world. $30 for Garden Conservancy members, $40 for nonmembers.
