Boston Common and Public Gardens are the first public botanical gardens to be established in the United States, back in the year 1837. The Boston Common is even older, having been created in 1634 as the first public park in America. Visitors can view unusual and rich plants, fountains and monuments, the Lagoon, and Swan Boats that have been operated and even created by the Paget family for more than one hundred years. The Boston Parks Department strives to maintain the Victorian traditions of the garden as best as they can, preserving the traditional beauty of the garden for guests.
