Things to do / Travel Guide
Botanical Gardens go way back in this part of the United States, which mainly focus on local flora. Here are three, spread throughout the region – spend a few relaxing and enjoyable hours in one near you.
- Harvard University manages the Arnold Arboretum, the oldest in the country, four miles southwest of downtown Boston. The grounds are quite extensive and the programs are educational.
- On Martha's Vineyard, the Polly Hill Arboretum is a tribute to Polly Hill, a well known local, who collected a varied display of flora and built trails to enjoy the trees and flowers.
- The Green Animals Topiary Garden in Portsmouth, Rhode Island is a treat for families and photographers.
Lions, bears, ships are all here – in the form of plants. Don't feed them.
