About This Scene:

Boston, Massachusetts

"The Boston Public Garden was established in 1837. Located on what had been salt marshes near the edge of Boston Common, it is the first public botanical garden in the United States. The 24-acre garden is home to a nearly four-acre pond, swans, ducks, and the swan boats made famous by Robert McCloskey in Make Way for Ducklings, as well as what has been called the world’s smallest suspension bridge." — from Adèle & Simon in America
