Behind the Scenes: The Dana Greenhouses

This is a members-only program. Not a member? Click here to join!

Almost all of the plants in the Arboretum begin their lives in the Dana Greenhouses. Join greenhouse staff for a behind-the-scenes look of the greenhouse growing process, from seed to sprout to seedling to tree.

Accessibility: This program takes place mostly on level ground in and around the greenhouses, though participants will need to ascend one moderately sloped gravel path at the beginning. This tour is not wheelchair accessible due to narrow passageways within the greenhouses.

Audience: This members-only program is geared towards adults.

Inclement weather policy: Participants will be notified via email at least one day in advance if a program needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather, and will be notified by phone if a program must be cancelled with less one day’s notice. Click here to view our full inclement weather policy. If you have questions about the status of a program, please email publicprograms@arnarb.harvard.edu (inbox monitored on weekdays) or call the Visitor Center desk between 10:00am and 4:00pm at (617) 384-5209.
