On August 18 at 10AM, the Newton Cemetery & Arboretum will host a summertime horticultural tour through its grounds, led by its Arborist, Julie Clements. On the 1.5-mile tour showcasing perennial gardens, the public will learn about the Arboretum’s ecological diversity, from shade gardens and wetland areas to pollinators. All attendees will receive a sachet of seeds collected from the Arboretum’s gardens. All ages are encouraged to attend.
The tour will take place rain or shine. Bring comfortable walking shoes, water, and plenty of questions. Parking is available along cemetery roads or in the Chapel parking lot. A donation of $15 is suggested. For more information, call 617-332-0047.
