About the event
Overview:
The arboretum's plant collections offer an expansive and vibrant variety of trees and shrubs suited to the Midwest. The landscape is home to 2,500 plants and features a labyrinth, as well as a pond, playscape and picnic areas. The trails are mowed grass and hilly. A walking stick might be helpful. The Overlook Pond Accessible Trail (.5 mile) is a smoothly paved ADA compliant trail.
