Start at the Hunnewell Visitor Center, 125 Arborway, Jamaica Plain, MA. Go inside for map & directions or follow these:

Walk down Meadow Road to the ponds. Just after the first pond on the left, you will see a cherry tree with beautiful red bark. This tree has a plant label with the accession number 516-93*A.
Pivot until you are facing the Bradley Rosaceous Collection green oval sign. Walk to the sign. Turn 90 degrees to the right. Walk 80 steps to a Sargent cherry tree with the accession number 931-51*B.
Follow the grass path along Dawson pond until you come to an intersection. The tree to your left is a weeping cherry tree with the accession number 319-90*H.
Continue along the grass path to your right which follows along the bed to which this tree belongs. Take 50 steps until you reach a lone old cherry tree with large stumps at the base, accession number 706-31*B.
You have reached your destination! Search the stump cavities for the letterbox.
