Spring is all about rebirth – from the blossoming of the flowers to the return of the spring peepers. Although we can’t get out and explore as much as we’d probably like or normally would this spring, we can still satisfy our wanderlust with a bit of virtual travel. We can walk among a beautiful sea of flowers, for example, at the Scott Arboretum in Pennsylvania.
The Scott Arboretum at Swarthmore College, less than a half an hour from Philadelphia, still welcomes visitors to explore its majestic 425-acre garden of blossoming flowers and trees. (You must still practice safe social distancing.)

If you can’t make it to the campus, however, you can set off on a virtual or an online tour of the breathtaking arboretum.
