Because of the sudden rescheduling, they won't have any food trucks on Saturday.

People seem to love it but I don't get it. Parking and traffic is crazy. I assume there are a lot of people in the park itself. Anyone want to weigh in that this is worth checking out vs say going last week or next weekend?

I love the Arbs and all but this seems like a good day to be anywhere else.

Side note - anyone else in Roslindale refer to the two different parts as the Nearboretum (south of Bussey) and the Farboretum (north of Bussey) or just me?

Until a few years ago, it has Morris dancers and other entertainment. Usually it also has food trucks, but not this year because of the rescheduling.

...when the Aboretum booted out the morris dancers. And I think the explanation was essentially "They distract people from looking at the flowers."
