Afterglow: An Evening of Roots + Revelry
Join the Arnold Arboretum for our inaugural Afterglow fundraising event! An evening of discovery under the stars with food, drinks, and learning opportunities. This event is designed to celebrate the Arboretum’s work: a free and open public park in the City of Boston, an academic “museum of trees,” a conservation and research institution, and a place of outdoor education for all people. The event will be hosted in the Arnold Arboretum’s Explorers Garden, where we care for plants from around the world, exemplifying our global collaboration and conservation work. Guests will engage with Arboretum experts while enjoying cocktails and passed food in the living collections, followed by music and dancing under a tent.

Plants & Collections
Maple-leaf Oak
At the southern tip of the Arboretum stands the oldest maple-leaf oak in cultivation.
Pecan
This pecan, collected in 1882, arrived from the first large research project undertaken at the Arnold Arboretum—a nationwide survey of trees and forests for the United States census in 1880. The collector was an ornithologist with an acute eye for detail.
