Celebrate plant diversity, natural history, and the work of public
gardens by spotlighting plants and their families. Join us for tours,
family activities and festivities in the ginkgo collection on Peters
Hill. Most people can identify a ginkgo leaf — but what do you really
know about the tree itself? Come learn more about this "living fossil"
and explore a collection that reflects the greatest known genetic
diversity of wild-collected ginkgos in North America. This is a
drop-in activity. The event will be taking place in the ginkgo
collection on Peters Hill. Street parking is available on Bussey
Street. Peters Hill is in the Southern tip of the Arboretum, at the
Intersection of Walter and Bussey Sts.
