Sure, here you go:
Boston truly is the seat of America's history, and the Public Garden is no different as the country's oldest botanical gardens. Located just across Charles Street from the Boston Common, Boston Public Gardens features tranquil scenery, serene swan boats, and the much-beloved duck statues. The four-acre pond features foot-pedal Swan Boats, one of the Boston's most popular daily outdoor activities.
There's also an astounding statue of George Washington on horseback that was constructed in 1869 and faces the head of Commonwealth Avenue at the Arlington Street gate. Children will love clamoring on the statues dedicated to the popular book, "Make Way for the Ducklings," making Public Garden an ideal location for the entire family. Be sure to bring along a camera, as you'll enjoy great photo opportunities you can't find anywhere else.

well the Public Garden right in Boston is gorgeous and you should visit it but it's not a true botanical garden. Go to the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain (which is a part of Boston). It's affiliated with Harvard University. Also in Framingham (maybe half an hour west of Boston) is the Garden in the Woods. I know they have a website, I forgot what it is but you can google it. I've been - it's really nice.

The closest you would get in the city would be the Boston Public Garden, or the Boston Common, but there are some nicer places if you're looking to travel outside the city just slightly. (For example in Watertown the Mount Auburn Cemetary, about 10 min drive out of the city)

If you happen to be west of Boston towards Worcester you could visit Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston. Good variety of vegetation and florals, not to mention a view of Wachusett Mountain and Reservoir.
