Boston’s Gardens & Green Spaces - Walking Tours
From Sunday, June 13 2010
To Sunday, June 27 2010
1:00pm - 3:00pm Sunday of each week

Three June history walks showcase four centuries of Boston's evolving green spaces.

Join Meg Muckenhoupt, author of Boston’s Gardens & Green Spaces, and Maryglenn Vincens, founder of Boston Your Way Premium Private Tours, for three exclusive walking tours through Green Boston, past and present. Inspired by Muckenhoupt’s beautiful new book, Muckenhoupt and Vincens will examine how Boston’s shifting landscape and coastline have shaped the city’s ever-expanding network of public spaces.

Tours are $50 per person and are open to the public. Each tour is limited to 25 people. Reservations must be made by Friday June 4, 2010. Each ticket includes a signed copy of Boston’s Gardens & Green Spaces and complimentary tea at some of Boston’s finest cafés and restaurants.
