The Fall Plant Giveaway celebrates the Arnold Arboretum’s longstanding tradition of sharing and promoting woody plants for temperate climates. In addition to making plant material available to researchers and other botanical institutions, the arboretum has distributed plants to members of the Friends of the Arnold Arboretum in recognition of their support. This year’s event gives members the opportunity to receive free Arboretum-grown plants as a part of their membership benefits, gain first-hand expert knowledge from the staff, and enjoy the beauty of the landscape in autumn. The event will be held at 10 am on Saturday, September 25 on the Arboretum grounds. If you are not a member, you may join or renew your membership at the Plant Giveaway to attend and receive the free plant benefit that day. This is a rain or shine event. Questions? Contact Wendy Krauss at 617-384-5766 or email membership@arnarb.harvard.edu.
