Boerner Botanical Gardens

	Map		Reviews

A living museum of woody plants from around the world, the 1000-plus acre Arboretum spans Whitnall Park and stretches along the adjoining Root River Parkway. Trees and shrubs belonging to the Arboretum's special collections are arranged in groves according to plant family.

Both beautiful and educational, the arboretum serves as an outdoor classroom for anyone interested in woody plants. Within the Annual Garden, ornamental flowering trees and artistic statuary punctuate dazzling beds of colorful annual flowers. A low decorative wall made from native glacial-stone outlines the garden and a traditional gazebo offers quiet repose. The Perennial Garden is a collection of plant collections including irises, phlox, hostas, daylilies and peonies. Here in the Rose Garden among great stone arbor pillars, water flows from ornamental fountains, colorful Koi fish swim in a central pool, and we are blessed with roses all summer long. Waves of bloom begin in the latter part of June with Hybrid Tea, Foribunda and Grandiflora Roses.
