10 places to see spring flowers around Boston in 2025

Boston may not have the best year-round weather, but the city does boast four perfectly defined seasons. Boston's 2025 spring bloom is expected to arrive in mid April. From magnolias in the Back Bay to cherry blossoms on the Esplanade, we rounded up 10 places to see spring flowers around the city so you don't have to. 10) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B-p4goFAddY/">Beacon Hill</a> 🌸 <img src="https://i.imgur.com/FnvAVbK.jpg"> Early spring blooms fill the nooks of Boston’s most prestigious neighborhood. On America’s most photographed street, Acorn Street, a white flowering tree steals the show. 9) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B_s2JtFlFuI/">North Point Park</a> 🌸 <img src="https://i.imgur.com/ZrxHLHr.jpg"> Daffodils and tulips fill the gardens of North Point Park, while wildflowers occupy the banks of the river that runs along the park.

Look out for the park’s famous lilac bloom in late May.

Blooms are plentiful on streets adjacent to Southwest Corridor Park. 6) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B_x9a3Zgbaw/">Christoper Columbus Park</a> 🌸 <img src="https://i.imgur.com/8oO1PHJ.jpg"> The park, which is located on the edge of the North End neighborhood, is a gem for spotting tulips in May. 5) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B_x49frnmhZ/">Kenmore Square / Fenway</a> 🌸 <img src="https://i.imgur.com/TqcmyzD.jpg"> Spring blooms in Kenmore with the CITGO Sign as your backdrop might just be the next photo you post on IG (see main listing photo). Also check out the Fens to see all types of blooms, like the white flowering tree pictured above. 4) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwpun1Nn52W/">Copley Square</a> 🌸 <img src="https://i.imgur.com/mR0RaDS.jpg"> There is a magnificent tulip garden that blooms every May in front of Trinity Church. Note: part of the area is currently under construction. 3) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B_htzDPguNQ/">Back Bay</a> 🌸 <img src="https://i.imgur.com/UzydkO4.jpg"> The entire Back Bay neighborhood is chock-full of trees that produce beautiful flowers in the spring. Especially magnolias. Just take a walk down Marlborough Street. 2) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B_lFQy8gB11/">Charles River Esplanade</a> 🌸 <img src="https://i.imgur.com/xDWB1pp.jpg"> Since the 1980s, Japan has gifted over 1,500 cherry trees to the city of Boston, most of which were planted in the Esplanade. Also on the Charles River Basin but beyond the Esplanade in Allston, <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/ugtQ8FCJq6f9YLuF9">Christian Herter Park</a> boasts an incredible cherry blossom every April. 1) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B_z8YzqgVEo/">Boston Public Garden</a> 🌸 <img src="https://i.imgur.com/Zu3POjL.jpg"> The Public Garden is Boston’s holy grail for spotting spring blooms. Tulips surrounding the George Washington statue are the star of the show, with cherry blossoms around the park playing a supporting role. BONUS: Check out the Boston Common for some <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CMUYC2wL9Eu/">incredible cherry blossoms</a>, too.
