Lilacs Up Close

Lilacs are blooming in the Arboretum throughout the month of May, not only on Lilac Sunday! Join our enthusiastic docents on a 45-minute amble up the hill from the ponds to see the lilacs, enjoy their scents, and hear the stories of the many different lilacs in our collection.

Note that this program starts at the Ponds, which is a 10-minute walk from the main entrance at Arborway Gate. Make sure you give yourself enough time if you’re parking at Arborway! See the map on the right for more details.

Audience: This program is geared towards adults.

Accessibility: This walk will take place on paved roads and includes one long, moderately steep hill.

Inclement weather policy: 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 [email protected] or call the Visitor Center desk between 10:00am and 4:00pm at (617) 384-5209.
