Garden Design for Woody Plants

As we approach the end of the growing season, it’s time to start thinking about next year’s plantings! What trees or shrubs should you plant in your own yard? Which plants will fare best in your particular space and microclimate? Join Horticulturist Rowan Payne-Meyer for a class on garden design for woody plants. We will begin in the Hunnewell Lecture Hall for a discussion on garden design techniques, and then move outdoors to see the design strategies used in the Leventritt Shrub and Vine Garden and the Bradley Rosaceous Collection.

Accessibility: This program will involve walking about a mile over mulch paths, mowed grass, and pavement.

Audience: This program is geared towards adults.

Hunnewell Lecture Hall

By subway

Take the MBTA Orange Line to its southern end—Forest Hills. Exit through the door marked “Arnold Arboretum,” cross Washington Street, and walk up Arborway to the Arboretum’s Forest Hills Gate on your left. To reach the Arboretum’s Arborway Gate and the Hunnewell Building, continue along the sidewalk on the Arborway to the Arborway Gate (about 12 minutes), or go through the gate, bear right at the pond, and continue to the Hunnewell Building, which will be on your left. The Lecture Hall is located inside the Hunnewell Building.

By bus

Take the #39 bus to the South Street @ Bardwell Street stop in Jamaica Plain. Walk down South Street away from Bardwell Street, take a right on Custer Street, and walk down Custer Street until it ends. Turn right and walk about 300 feet down Arborway to the Arboretum’s Arborway Gate, which will be across the street. The Lecture Hall is located in the Hunnewell Building, just inside the gate on your right.

By car

There is public parking available on Arborway, including six designated accessible spots on either side of Arborway gate.
