Scootin' in Boston - Arboretum and Allandale Farm

In this episode of Scootin' in Boston, the Poor Student starts at the entrance of the Arboretum at Washington Street (by Forest Hills Station) and goes west, through the Arboretum, turns right onto Centre Street, and left onto Allandale Street. Allandale Farm is a working farm with a farmstand (store) and a CSA program. They also carry baked goods from Clear Flour Bread Bakery (Brookline) and Canto 6 (Jamaica Plain).

At Grove Street, we turn left to get onto the Roxbury Parkway via a rotary and then head back to Centre Street via Veterans of Foreign Wars Parkway. Finally, we go through the Arboretum again to get back to our starting point (at Forest Hills Station on Washington Street).

This route generally has less traffic than Washington Street. For the most part, the roads are well paved with only a few bumps along the way.
