Leila Arboretum, Botanical garden in Battle Creek, Michigan, United States.
The 72-acre Leila Arboretum contains over 2,000 species of trees and shrubs arranged in patterns similar to European garden designs.
Leila Post Montgomery, widow of cereal magnate C.W. Post, purchased the land in 1922 and donated it to Battle Creek for public garden development.
The Kingman Museum, located within the arboretum grounds, functions as a natural history museum and planetarium for educational purposes.
Visitors can explore the arboretum daily from sunrise to sunset through paved roads, forest trails, and walking paths without paying admission fees.
The garden displays 7,000 spring bulbs, 5,000 annual flowers, and 1,500 chrysanthemums in rotating seasonal arrangements throughout the grounds.
