Slayton Arboretum, Botanical garden in Hillsdale County, United States.
The 48-acre natural area includes stone gazebos, a children's garden, nature trails, a waterfall system, and two ponds next to Hillsdale College campus.
George and Mrs. Slayton donated the initial 14 acres to Hillsdale College in 1922, leading to the first plantings under Professor Bertram Barber in 1924.
The arboretum serves as an outdoor laboratory where faculty and students conduct research on plants, ecology, and botanical sciences throughout the year.
The fieldstone buildings, including the Barber House, contain the arboretum office and a horticultural library for visitors and researchers to access information.
The garden occupies a former gravel pit, creating distinct topographical features enhanced by coniferous trees planted during Professor Barber's leadership period.
