East Texas Arboretum and Botanical Society, Botanical garden in Athens, Texas, United States.

The East Texas Arboretum encompasses 100 acres of diverse landscapes, including dry hills, hardwood forests, seasonal bogs, and permanent wetlands along Walnut Creek.

The gardens feature dedicated spaces for butterflies, herbs, kitchen plants, native species, perennials, and roses, reflecting the regional horticultural heritage.

The arboretum maintains two miles of hiking trails, offering visitors access to different garden sections while educational programs occur throughout the year.
