The Leventritt Shrub and Vine Garden contains a multitude of
cultivated plants with culturally significant medicinal properties.
However, on a casual stroll along Linden Path to the Leventritt, you
will pass dozens of other plants that are often looked upon as simple
weeds. Many of these plants have rich ethnobotanical histories of
their own that tie us closer to our environment. Your guides will
explain how these "weedy" plants came to colonize this area while
touching on cultural contexts and botanical identification of these
wild species — as well as the cultivated medicinal species in the
Leventritt Shrub and Vine Garden. In case of inclement weather,
contact 617.384.5209.
