Arnold Arboretum research collections and secluded landscape features

The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University in Jamaica Plain is a living museum with extensive cultivated collections and also maintains a Herbarium and archival research collections used by scholars. The Herbarium, certain conservation nurseries, and archival materials are available primarily by appointment or for researchers rather than for casual walk-in access. The arboretum's landscape contains secluded features-such as Hemlock Hill and specialized shrub collections-that feel hidden within the broader public grounds.
