What is there to see at the Arboretum after all of the leaves have fallen and before spring flowers start to bloom? Bark! Shaggy bark, mottled bark, striped bark: the Arboretum has it all. Join Horticulturist Rachel Lawlor to see some beautiful bark highlights, learn how to identify some trees by their bark, and learn why that bark looks the way it does.
Accessibility: Participants will walk over paved roads, woodchip paths, and mowed grass.
Parking: There is limited parking outside of Centre Street Gate, and additional parking on Arborway near Forest Hills Gate (a 10 minute walk from the meeting point).
In the event of inclement weather, registrants will be notified via email. If you have questions, please email [email protected] or call the Visitor Center desk between 10:00am and 4:00pm at (617) 384-5209.
