The Arboretum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is open daily, dawn to dusk, for hiking and walking; no motorized vehicles are allowed on the Arboretum grounds to protect the plants. Parking is free. Click here to view and download a full color trail map, or pick one up at our Visitor Center in the lower parking lot.
Suggested donation for non-member visitors: $5/per person, $15/family.
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.
The following activities are NOT permitted in the Arboretum:
. Cutting, digging, removing, or damaging any tree, shrub, flower, or plant; collecting flowers, cuttings, seeds, or other plant material is prohibited without express prior approval from Arboretum staff.
. Wading or swimming in ponds; please do not throw anything into the pond at the Meditation Garden.
. Hunting, trapping, removing, harassing, touching or feeding wildlife;
. Use of firearms of any type including those shooting blanks, flare guns, bows and arrows, or paint ball devices;
. Camping or igniting fires;
. Bicycles, horses, or motorized vehicles (including e-bikes and e-scooters), snowmobiles, ATVs, etc. 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.
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 Nicholas J. Juried Meeting House; it is very unpleasant for visitors to accidently discover unscooped poop.
Please follow the rules so that this resource can continue to be accessible to the community.
There are no trash facilities. Please carry out what you bring in.
