Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. A comprehensive botanical research institution affiliated to Harvard University in the United States, it is famous for the introduction and cultivation of trees and shrubs. Built on March 29, 1872. There are 107.2 hectares of arboretums, 6215 species of trees and shrubs (including varieties and varieties), 700 square meters of breeding greenhouses and 60.3 hectares of experimental nurseries. There are more than 1.3 million wax leaf specimens in the collection, including about 1.13 million wild plant specimens and about 170,000 cultivated tree and shrub plant specimens. There are laboratories for plant taxonomy, phytochemistry and genetic breeding, and regularly publish magazines such as "Journal of Botany of Arnold Arboretum" and "Arnold Arboretum". The species of trees and shrubs introduced and cultivated in the arboretum rank first in the botanical gardens of all countries in the world. More than 700 species of economic and garden ornamental trees and shrubs (including varieties and varieties) were introduced to the United States for the first time through the garden. The collection of plants such as Magnoliaceae, Aceraceae, Rhododendronaceae, Salix, Begonia, Hawthorn, Syringa and dwarf conifers is relatively complete, of which nearly 500 species of Syringa are collected.
The 281-acre botanical garden features more than 16,000 species of plants and is free and open to all visitors daily. Whether you're here for a walk, to spot wildlife or are interested in learning about the stories and science behind our plants, as a public institution we're committed to accessibility and meeting everyone's needs.
You can get to the Botanic Gardens by subway, bus or car. Get directions to the Hunnewell Visitor Centers at Arborway Gate, Peters Hill, Weld Hill Building or Dana Greenhouses. Free parking is available along Arborway, Bussey Street and Walter Street. The Arnold Arboretum also provides resources to improve accessibility. The two highest elevations within the Arboretum are Bussey Hill (198') and Peters Hill (240').
If you stay in Boston for a long time, it is a very recommended park. At that time, there was a language school teacher who was a native of Boston. Taking the students in our class to teach outside the school is a very long distance from the school by car. It will probably take at least 2 hours to go back and forth. Take the MBTA green line, transfer to the red line, then transfer to the orange line, and get off at Forest Hill, the last stop below the orange line.
It is very suitable for people who like the natural environment and woods, whether it is walking or learning about trees, or climbing the highest Peters Hill to enjoy the scenery of Boston. All a nice leisure life. But the downside is that some sections of the road will be super-hot without shelter in summer!
Most people in this area don't come here very often. In other words, most tourists will not visit the lower half of the Boston map.
