Behind the Scenes: The Dana Greenhouses

This program has been cancelled.

—

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.

Note that the greenhouse lot is for staff only: please park on Arborway if you are arriving by car and walk the 10 minutes to the Leventritt pavilion.

Accessibility: This program involves a small amount of walking over level ground, but is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible due to narrow passageways within the greenhouses.

Audience: This program is geared towards adults.

Inclement weather policy: Participants will be notified via email at least 24 hours 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 than 24 hours’ 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 or call the Visitor Center desk between 10:00am and 4:00pm at (617) 384-5209.
