The Public Garden, also called the Boston Public Garden, is a huge park located in Boston, Massachusetts, adjacent to Boston Common. It is an element of the Emerald Necklace network of parks and is bordered by Charles Street and Boston Common to the east, Beacon Street and Beacon Hill to north Arlington Street, and Back Bay to the west along with Boylston Street to the south. Public Garden Public Garden was the first public botanical garden in America.
In Boston’s Back Bay, including the ground on which the garden is located was mudflats before the filling was initiated at the beginning of the 1800s. The land in The Public Garden was the earliest filled since the area today Charles Street had been used as a ropewalk for a long time before 1796. The city of Boston allowed ropemakers to use the property on the 30th of July 1794, following an incident that destroyed ropewalks located in a more populous part of the city. In exchange for its usage, the owner of the ropewalk was required to construct a seawall and then fill the land that is now Charles Street, and the land is immediately surrounding it (now portion of the Public Garden).
