A Spectacular Spring Hike Thru the Arnold Arboreum

Come on along for a spectacular spring hike through the always scenic Arnold Arboretum.  Beginning at the main entrance, our amazing hike will take us throughout the entire preserve for about 5 miles.  Early spring is the absolute best time to experience the glorious, natural wonders of this really special place - the azaleas and lilacs will be in full bloom (or almost!), wild flowers will be abundant and the trees will be bursting with life.  The Arboretum is a 300-acre treasure operated by Harvard University (great 1000 year lease!) on land owned by the City of Boston. It's a National Historic Landmark, and it's one of the finest examples of design by the renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted (think Central Park!).  Please wear your good hiking shoes & warm layered clothes and bring a liter of water.  After our fabulous hike, we'll have an option to head over to nearby & happening Jamaica Plain center for some schmoozing over an early dinner with drinks.  Steady rain cancels.
