Join Lenny Macari, Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens Grounds manager for a walk that discusses some of our interesting ornamental trees, many of which he has planted and cared for over the past two decades. How does an Arboretum decide what to plant, and where to plant it to ensure its longevity? Lenny can answer these questions and many more!
