Hall’s Pond Planting Scheme

by Christopher Beck

Hall’s Pond Sanctuary is a 3.5 acre nature preserve in Brookline, Massachusetts. The pond is connected to the adjacent Amory Park by a pathway which links it to the parking lot in the north and Beacon Street in the south. This is a simple tree and shrub planting scheme for the stretch of path  between the parking lot and the pond entrance, along with fact sheets on each of the five selected shrub species.
