Minnesota Landscape Arboretum

Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Botanical garden and arboretum in Chaska, United States.

Description

The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is a botanical garden spanning over 1,200 acres where diverse trees, shrubs, and flowering plants grow in distinct landscape sections. This scale allows visitors to experience different plant communities and seasonal changes throughout their visit.

History

The University of Minnesota founded a horticultural research center in 1907 that eventually became the current arboretum. The site expanded to its present size during the 1950s and has since served both research and public enjoyment.

Culture

Art exhibitions featuring regional artists rotate throughout the year, creating a space where nature and creativity meet. These shows bring together people interested in both plants and artistic expression.

Practical

The grounds feature roughly five miles of walking paths that allow visitors to explore at their own pace. Regular guided tours and gardening demonstrations run during the warmer months and offer helpful growing tips.

Did you know?

Researchers here developed the Honeycrisp apple, a popular variety bred for cold climates. The research facilities continue creating new plant varieties that thrive in northern regions.
