Lake Erie Arboretum

Lake Erie Arboretum is a botanical garden situated within Frontier Park featuring diverse plant collections, walking trails, and distinct garden sections. The grounds include a specialized plant collection area and a labyrinth designed for visitor exploration.

The arboretum originated from a local effort to create green spaces in Erie. Over time it grew into a center focused on plant conservation and education.

The site draws local volunteers and residents who participate in ongoing maintenance and seasonal gardening workshops throughout the year. These regular activities create spaces where people come together to engage with plants and learn about horticulture.

Entry is free and the grounds remain open to visitors year-round without charge. Guided tours can be arranged ahead of time for those seeking more detailed exploration.

The Benjamin Winter Garden displays plants specifically adapted to Erie's climate conditions. This specialized collection helps visitors understand which species thrive in the region's growing environment.
