Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, Boston, MA
The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts is a historic public garden and research facility devoted to the cultivation, display and study of woody plants. Founded in 1872, it is the oldest arboretum in North America, and the second-oldest institution dedicated to horticultural research after the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, England. The Arnold Arboretum occupies 265 acres of land in Jamaica Plain, a neighborhood of Boston located about 5 miles southwest of downtown. It is an integral part of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, yet managed independently from other university-affiliated gardens.
The Arboretum plays an important role in the conservation of rare plant species; its living collections comprise over 8,000 trees, shrubs, vines and herbaceous plants representing over 13,000 individual specimens from more than 4,500 taxa. It is home to more than 600 Champion Trees – specimens that are either unique within their species or have attained a greater size than any other known tree of that species on record. The grounds also contain several ponds including Weld Pond and Leventritt Shrub and Vine Garden which showcase some of the hardiest trees found anywhere in the world.
In addition to its living collections, the Arboretum has a rich library with significant holdings related to botanical science and horticulture as well as an extensive herbarium collection with nearly 1 million preserved specimens representing thousands of plant species from around the globe. The Arnold Arboretum also houses an active program for scientific research into evolutionary biology and plant genetics as well as educational programs for students at all levels from pre-kindergarten through college-level courses. There are many ways for visitors to explore such as guided tours led by trained docents or self-guided exploration via maps or smartphone apps. Additionally, there are various classes offered that range from basic pruning techniques to specialized topics like propagation and native plant identification.
