2022 Director's Series | Birth: The Early History and Meaning of the Arnold Arboretum

Join the Arnold Arboretum’s Director William (Ned) Friedman for the annual Director’s Series! To celebrate the Arboretum’s sesquicentennial, this year’s series will explore the Magic and Meaning of a Garden of Trees. Over the course of four sessions, we will trace the Arnold’s significance in the landscape architecture movement, value for the people of Boston, and leadership in creating global connections between plants and people. This session will include brief presentations and a moderated panel. The program is free and is offered both in person and livestreamed. Panelists Dr. Ethan Carr, Director of the Master’s of Landscape Architecture Program, University of Massachusetts; Dr. Rosetta Elkin, Academic Director of the Master’s of Landscape Architecture Program, Pratt Institute; and Lisa Pearson, Head of the Library and Archives, Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University will discuss the early history and meaning of the Arnold Arboretum in a conversation moderated by Arboretum Director William (Ned) Friedman.
