  • I once wrote a children’s story about the Arboretum that I am happy to share with you. An additional brief story is that I was once working on a tree guide for children. The Arboretum was my laboratory and I visited often with my young son who is now 29. One day we were walking in Concord and stopped to look at a tree. I wondered what kind of tree it was. My son replied: “Just look at the sign!” He thought every tree came with a sign!

  • Coming to the Arboretum during the beginning of the pandemic gave out family some much needed joy. We came to see and smell the lilacs and it was stunning!

  • I'm a neighbor and became a docent because my friend and I were there ALOT!! It's a great program and the best volunteer program I have ever been part of.
