Fragrant, flowering lilacs get their very own celebration
on at Boston’s Arnold Arboretum each year. The grounds are home to
nearly 400 lilac plants representing 165 different varieties: It’s one of
North America’s most significant collections of lilacs.
On Lilac Sunday, picnicking on site is permitted, and special tours and activities for families
are scheduled. Call 617-524-1718 for event details.
