Arnold Arboretum seasonal foliage and lilacs

The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, established in 1872, is a 281-acre public landscape in Jamaica Plain noted for its collections and designed plantings. Seasonal displays-especially spring blossoms and fall foliage-and its notable lilac collections attract photographers and nature-focused social-media posts. Photographs of the arboretum's specimen trees, pathways, and seasonal color are widely circulated in local and travel-oriented online content.
