Exuberant Blooms reaches new heights!
This year’s display weaves vibrant seasonal plantings with striking architectural elements created from wood reclaimed through our own arboricultural work, giving pruned limbs a thoughtful second life in the garden.
Morris Arboretum & Gardens is a 92-acre public garden in Chestnut Hill, where plants, people, and place come together. From seasonal exhibitions to peaceful garden spaces, there’s always something new to explore.
