Arboretum Prepares for Spring Events

The weather is ever-so-slowly warming. The Arnold Arboretum has a spring series ready for when it finally does.

The Arnold Arboretum is springing ahead, whether the weather wants to or not.

The Arboretum in Jamaica Plain will present “Collections Up Close,” a series of three events kicking off at the end of April. The events are set up to “encourage a deeper appreciation of the Arboretum and plants in our lives,” according to a press release.
