This U.S. City Was Just Named One of the Greenest in the World

"Owned by Harvard University, this 281-acre Jamaica Plain escape combines serious horticultural study with peaceful parkland; it was created from a bequest by whaling merchant James Arnold and designed with input from Frederick Law Olmsted. Visitors can join guided tours, explore extensive plantings, and climb Peters Hill for skyline views." - Cameron Sperance

How to Eat Your Way Through Jamaica Plain in One Day | Eater Boston

"I find the Arnold Arboretum worth the trip for its sprawling 281-acre nature preserve with over 2,000 tree species; it's free and open every day, offers guided tours or miles of trails for wandering, and features landmark attractions like a towering dawn redwood and the two oldest specimens of paperbark maple trees in North America." - Erika Adams

The 17 Best Things to Do in Boston

"A gorgeous 281-acre green space within Boston, Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is the oldest public arboretum in North America (c. 1872) and the highlight of Frederick Law Olmsted's famed Emerald Necklace series of green space in the city. Prolific biking and walking trails zigzag past more than 16,000 accessioned plants, many meticulously marked with signs. The natural splendor is a feast for the eyes, which are able to spot the sheer diversity of trees and plants at every turn. QR-coded signs and the arboretum’s easy-to-use Expeditions app make it possible to dig deep into the environment." - Paul Rubio, Todd Plummer
