University of Alabama Arboretum

University of Alabama Arboretum, Botanical garden and arboretum at University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, US.

The University of Alabama Arboretum covers 60 acres (24.3 hectares) near the intersection of Veterans Memorial Parkway and Pelham Loop Road in Tuscaloosa. Its 2.5 miles (4 km) of trails pass through native piney woods and oak-hickory climax forest, leading to a wildflower garden of more than 250 species, ornamental plantings, an experimental garden, a bog garden, an open-air pavilion and a children's garden. Two greenhouses hold orchids, cacti and tropical plants.

The sources give no founding date or research mandate for the arboretum. It is one of the University of Alabama Museums, together with the Alabama Museum of Natural History, Gorgas House, Moundville Archaeological Museum, the Office of Archaeological Research and the Paul W. Bryant Museum. Its plantings concentrate on Alabama's native flora and fauna.

The arboretum belongs to the University of Alabama Museums, alongside the Alabama Museum of Natural History, Gorgas House, Moundville Archaeological Museum, the Office of Archaeological Research and the Paul W. Bryant Museum. Its plantings centre on Alabama's native flora and fauna, and the children's garden gives younger visitors a hands-on introduction to plants.

The arboretum is open daily from sunrise to sunset with no admission fee, offering access to greenhouses, garden areas, and a pavilion. Wear comfortable walking shoes for the trails and bring water during warm months.

The collection features more than 250 wildflower species, many occurring naturally in the region's forest types. This focus on wild blooms sets this place apart from many botanical gardens that emphasize cultivated varieties.
