Land Acquisition
The Newton Arboretum & Botanical Gardens has a unique opportunity to acquire the cropland abutting the northern border of the gardens. Pesticide and herbicide drift have become constant issues that compromise our mission.
Our Board of Directors began talking with Newton city officials in 2022 and started a full-fledged land acquisition campaign in 2023. The available land is part of the Agnes Patterson parcel owned by the city of Newton.
