University of Kentucky Arboretum, Botanical garden in Lexington, Kentucky.
The State Botanical Garden of Kentucky encompasses 100 acres with native plants, horticultural gardens, and educational facilities at the University of Kentucky campus.
The garden opened its doors in 1991, transforming a land filled with invasive species into a structured botanical space through continuous restoration efforts.
Seven distinct physiographic regions of Kentucky are represented in the Walk Across Kentucky trail, displaying the state's botanical diversity in organized sections.
Visitors can access the grounds every day from sunrise to sunset, while the Dorotha Smith Oatts Visitor Center operates Tuesday through Saturday from 9 am.
The Kentucky Children's Garden spans two acres, providing dedicated spaces for young individuals to learn about plants and environmental education through direct interaction.
