Description


The Public Garden in Boston, once marshland, eventually became the first public botanical garden in the United States. The landscape design for the Garden was modeled after the gardens at the Palace of Versailles in France.

How many colorful flowerbeds are in the Public Garden? What was the inspiration for the legendary Swan Boats? Find out the answers to these questions and more on this Photowalk. You could even answer them with your own camera!
