Through the pandemic, as museums around Boston have opened and closed their doors to visitors, there s one that never had to shut: the Arnold Arboretum.
These days there s plenty of parking along the Arborway in Jamaica Plain, and the Arboretum s wrought iron gate is wide open and welcoming. Even in the dead of winter, this living museum is alive with activity because the slow season for visitors is the best time to scout for climate threats and alien invaders.
The 281-acre botanical museum, administered by Harvard University, contains about 16,000 trees, woody shrubs and plants. It s a beautiful green island in an urban sea, says Michael Dosmann, the Arboretum s Keeper of the Living Collections.
