The Arnold Arboretum is full of plants that can be used to make alcohol. We have the classics like grapes, hops, and juniper, as well as ingredients for more obscure liquors and liqueurs like sweet birch, spruce, and bamboo. Join Manager of Adult Programming and Events Sarah Nechamen in front of the Hunnewell Building on September 14 at 2 pm for a free walk to explore these plants and the spirits they create. This program unfortunately does not involve sampling alcoholic beverages. The group is limited to 24, so sign up now at https://arboretum.harvard.edu/events/

Accessibility: This walk will include paved roads, mulch paths, and mowed grass. We will ascend and descend some gradual hills. Participants will be notified via email at least 24 hours in advance if a program needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather, and will be notified by phone if a program must be cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice. Click here to view our full inclement weather policy. If you have questions about the status of a program, please email publicprograms@arnarb.harvard.edu or call the Visitor Center desk between 10:00am and 4:00pm at (617) 384-5209.
