Fall Events at the Arnold Arboretum.
The Arnold Arboretum, located at 125 Arborway in Boston, Massachusetts, has a roster of workshops and classes. For example, on October 31 you can attend "Barking Mad" and join the Curator of Living Collections on a stroll to find trees and shrubs with beautiful, colorful, textural bark. November brings classes on painting fall foliage, garden design, conifers, and ethnobotany, plus story hours. There's something for everyone!
