The Massachusetts Horticultural Society has its headquarters at Elm
Bank in Wellesley, Massachusetts - about 15 miles west of Boston.
See
http://www.masshort.org/
for photos and information about the site and gardens. The
Bressingham Garden was designed by English plantsman Adrian Bloom
and should not be missed.
Mount Auburn Cemetery is also one of the most gorgeous places on
earth
http://www.mountauburn.org/national_landmark/horticulture.cfm
- It is just outside the city of Boston in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Harvard University's Arnold Arboretum is the oldest public arboretum
in North America.

- not gardens, per se - but right in town.
If you have the time and the inclination - you should take the time
to see
http://www.hmnh.harvard.edu/on_exhibit/the_glass_flowers.html
- obviously not a garden, but still absolutely gorgeous! The
weather pattern here lately has been quite unpredictable - more so
than usual - we had a few unseasonably warm days (90's) last week,
but this weekend is cold and rainy - so having an indoor option
might be just the ticket!
In the heart of the city is the Boston Public Garden with its famous
Swan Boats ------- in operation since 1877. Riding on the swan boat
will always be one of my favorite childhood memories.
Would love to hear about your trip!

Sure hope the list is reviving! I missed it.
Going to Boston next week to WAFA (world assoc. of flower
arrangers) Never been to Boston before, haven't had time to spend
searching - so, what gardens are there in the area? What should we
not miss???
