Jesse Hepler Lilac Arboretum, Botanical garden at University of New Hampshire, Durham, United States.
The Jesse Hepler Lilac Arboretum contained more than 600 lilac varieties arranged along paths behind Thompson Hall at the University of New Hampshire.
Jesse R. Hepler, chairman of the horticulture department, established this scientific collection in 1940, which remained active until its closure in 1980.
The collection represented seven color classes of lilacs, New Hampshire's state flower, contributing to regional botanical research and education.
Located at coordinates 43°8'11.0"N and 70°56'6.0"W, the garden provided specimens for research at UNH Horticultural Research facility on Woodman Farm.
When the arboretum closed in 1980, local residents collected all available plants within 90 minutes for replanting in private gardens.
