Boston Public Garden – Why you should visit

To begin with, Boston Public Garden was the first public botanical garden in America! If you plan on visiting the Boston area, I would totally recommend adding this stop into your plans; no matter the season.

Similar to Central Park, you will find a melting pot of people, locals and tourists alike. The garden is connected to Boston Common which is America’s oldest park! As you stroll throughout the garden and the park you will find telling statues of our nations history.

The best time to visit

In my opinion, the best time to visit Boston Public Garden is spring or fall. HOWEVER, every season beholds it’s own magnificence and there is always something to do.

Springtime is my favorite because of the weather and all the blooming flowers, especially the tulips, after a long cold winter.

The trees! Did I tell you how beautiful the trees are? I also really love visiting in the fall because the the summer heat is passing and the weather gets perfect again. It’s not too hot or too cold. The fresh crisp scent of fall is in the air and the leaves start to change color. There is nothing more idyllic than the fall season in New England. There truly is such a relaxing vibe here.
