Montana Arboretum and Gardens, Botanical garden at Montana State University in Bozeman, United States.

Montana Arboretum and Gardens is a small botanical garden at the northwestern corner of the Montana State University campus in Bozeman, at West College Avenue and South 11th Avenue, with additional plantings across campus. It holds native plants of the northern Rocky Mountains, the plains and drier parts of Montana, including a Xeriscape garden and large established specimens such as ponderosa pine and Rocky Mountain juniper.

The gardens were established on the Montana State University campus to provide a teaching center for studying regional plant species and their climate adaptations. The collection grew as a resource to support botanical research and education at the university.

The place functions as an outdoor classroom where students and researchers observe how plants grow and adapt to Montana's climate throughout the year. Visitors can see directly how this space supports hands-on learning about regional ecology.

Visitors can walk the gardens on well-marked pathways that connect different sections and are easy to navigate at your own pace. Spring and summer months are the best times to visit when plant growth is most visible and the grounds are fully accessible.

The collection features specialized specimens like Cercocarpus ledifolius and several Juniperus varieties that have adapted specifically to Montana's unique climate and soil conditions. These plants give visitors a chance to see which species naturally thrive in this particular region.
