Everybody has been asking what is the Arboretum? It’s a gorgeous place... like a plant zoo!
Some of my favorites included the Japanese garden, ornamental grass collection, rose garden (that was still in bloom!), sensory garden, annual and perennial gardens, weeping willow trees, beautiful maples in their peak fall colors, pumpkin palooza, scarecrows on parade, homeland garden, and woodland walks. Take a picnic basket and plan for a full day of walking and enjoying the scenery. It’s fantastic the fresh air, vibrant colors, and peaceful atmosphere make this a must see as often as possible (or at least a couple of times a season)!! We loved it so much we became members.
The University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum features more than 1,000 acres of magnificent gardens, model landscapes, and natural areas-from woodlands and wetlands to prairie-with extensive collections of northern-hardy plants. Tour the Arboretum on 12.5 miles of garden paths and hiking trails. Walk the close gardens and bike, walk or drive Three-Mile Drive to see more gardens and collections (Arboretum, 2011).
