Autumn in the Arboretum

October 27, 2024
The Arnold Arboretum, MA
$105/person

The Arnold Arboretum features thousands of species of flora from around the world and the photo opportunities abound all year long, but especially in the fall when the park’s foliage comes alive


On this workshop we will visit the Maples collection first and then the Birch collection and other parts of the park as warranted.  We will meet at the Hunnewell Building at 8 am and take a 10 minute walk to the maples.
This is not an Arnold Arboretum sponsored event. $5 donation to the Friends of the Arboretum included for all registrants.
