The Boston Public Garden is a huge park offering a pond, statuary, art, and thousands of plants representing hundreds of native species in the oldest public garden on the continent. The garden was first founded in 1837 on land that was previously mudflats by philanthropist Horace Grey and became the first public botanical garden in the United States. The garden still stands today.

The land features a 4-acre pond, and groves of trees representing 26 different varieties and even more subspecies. Thousands of visitors flock here every year to relax, get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and just recharge their batteries.

What are the highlights of the Boston Public Garden?

Highlights of the Boston Public Garden include roses, perennials, and flowering shrubs which are replanted on a rotating basis and supplied from 14 city greenhouses. The trees include various species of beech, elm, linden, maple, oak, pagoda, redwood and many others.

Many visit here to see the statuary. Notable art installations include an equestrian statue of George Washington by Thomas Ball, the Small Child Fountain by Mary E. Moore, and a Japanese garden lantern that dates to 1587 donated in 1906. In all, some 18 statues are spread throughout the park. The swan boats on the pond are another popular attraction.

What else is good to know about the Boston Public Garden?

The Boston Public Garden holds a great deal of historic significance and the Parks Department seeks to maintain its original Victorian state. The park asks that you display the proper care and respect for the plant and animal life you'll see here, and requests that you don't feed the birds for their own safety. The Garden is also a popular site for weddings, and visitors are asked to give wedding parties their privacy.

Swan Boats require advance booking. Pets are not permitted on the boats. Wheelchair access is available on most of the swan boats, and staff can help with loading and unloading.
