And though winter 2006 hardly cooperated with our preconceived ideas of bare-branched snow-swept oaks and elms (what with anomalies like pussy willows defiantly budding between the occasional cold snaps), we managed to learn something quite unexpected. Whether the winter is harsh or mild, the arboretum teems with life, botanical and otherwise.https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/wp-content/uploads/2006/03/14-arboretum1-450-1.jpg
