Looking for a last minute getaway? Our recommendation would be to make your way a few hours north to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. One of the current exhibits highlights internationally-recognized artists and their work with living plant material. Rather than using nature as a subject for depiction—as occurs in traditional landscape painting—these artists incorporate and manipulate plant species to help us reflect on the meanings and associations that influence our relationship with the natural world.

After you visit the exhibit, grab a bite in the North End (great for pasta and wine!) and spend the night in Seaport. Enjoy!
