Did you know that MCPHS once had a medicinal plant garden in Arnold Arboretum? 🌿🪴
Planted across two acres in 1941, the garden featured 382 species and varieties of medicinal and economically important plants, turning Boston into a living classroom for Botany and Pharmacognosy students. It remained a part of the curriculum until the 1960s.
It's a beautiful reminder that healthcare education has always been rooted in discovery. 🔬
