Arboretums

Arboretums are great places to get ideas for your landscape!

An arboretum is a place where a collection of different types of trees and other woody plants are grown, maintained, and displayed for the purposes of scientific study, education, and enjoyment. The site is usually a park or garden of a large size, with a wide range of trees and shrubs that are carefully chosen for their aesthetic beauty, interesting features, ecological, or historic significance. Visitors to an arboretum can expect to see a diverse collection of trees, including rare and exotic species, and learn about their botanical characteristics, uses, and cultural significance. Arboretums can also serve as natural habitats and conservation sites, providing shelter and food for wildlife, and promoting awareness and stewardship of the environment.
