Salisbury University Arboretum

Salisbury University Arboretum is a botanical garden spread across the campus in Maryland, containing thousands of trees and plants arranged in different areas. The grounds display thematically organized garden sections and various plant collections throughout the property.

The arboretum started in 1985 with initial plantings near the main academic building and gained formal recognition from a national botanical garden association in 1988. This official status helped shape its development into a major plant collection.

The grounds blend botanical learning with art through sculpture displays in designated areas, showing how nature and artistic expression coexist on campus. Walking through these spaces, you notice how both elements work together to create a fuller experience.

Visitors can explore the grounds on their own using maps and digital guides available at the site to find different sections. Wear comfortable shoes for walking, and plan your visit based on the season since plants change appearance throughout the year.

The grounds feature nearly 100 dedicated trees marking personal life events, creating meaningful connections between people and this place. These personal memorials give the garden an emotional layer beyond its role as a plant collection.
