This botanical garden, located in Jamaica Plain, is the crown jewel in Frederick Law Olmsteds Emerald Necklace, which is the chain of Boston parks that he created. The manicured grounds, under the management of Harvard University, are filled with exotic flora that are tagged with species and genus names for the eager amateur botanist. The annual “Lilac Sunday” during the second week of May draws thousands of visitors to enjoy the beauty of over 500 lilac bushes. Free.
