It’s good to stop and smell the flowers — well, you’re not going to want to stop for long to smell the titan arum when it’s in bloom at the Arnold Arboertum — which is also called the corpse flower. So you can imagine how bad it reeks.

Spring has sprung and the cherry blossom trees are coming into bloom at the Arnold Arboretum. And what better way to celebrate than with the Arboretum’s Cherry Blossom Festival on Saturday?

The plant collections stewarded at the Arnold Arboretum reflect a continuous cycle of growth, change, and renewal, where each plant contributes its own unique threads to the evolving story of the landscape. Just as the Arboretum adds scores of new plants to the collections each year, a commensurate number of plants are also removed annually, representing plants lost to old age, pests and disease, extreme weather events, or other concerns including public safety.
