Visitor Guidelines
The grounds are open every day of the year from dawn to dusk. Please sign in each time you visit.
The Arboretum is free to the public. A donation of $5 is suggested from those who are not members of the Arboretum to help maintain the grounds.
Motorized vehicles and bicycles are allowed ONLY in the parking lots. Because motorized vehicles and bicycles can destroy important Arboretum collections and make the grounds less usable for other people, cameras have been mounted around the grounds to ensure that this rule is maintained.
There are no trash facilities. Please carry out what you bring in.
Dogs are welcome, but must be leashed and kept away from flower gardens. PLEASE consistently scoop your dog's poop and carry it out with you or place it in one of our Pet Waste Receptacles located near the entrance and at the Meeting House; it is very unpleasant for visitors to accidently discover unscooped poop.
No guns of any sort are allowed on the grounds.
No horses are allowed on the grounds.
No wading or swimming in ponds; please do not throw anything into the pond at the Meditation Garden.
Collections of flowers, cuttings, seeds, or other plant material is prohibited without express prior approval from Arboretum staff.
