The Arboretum at Penn State

The Arboretum at Penn State extends across 370 acres, featuring gardens, meadows, and walking paths alongside themed garden spaces within H.O. Smith Botanic Gardens.

The gardens development started in 2005 with the planting of a white oak tree, followed by a substantial construction phase after Charles Smith's $10 million contribution in 2007.

The Childhood's Gate Children's Garden incorporates educational elements through sculptures of native wildlife, a limestone cave, and a glass house for nature programs.

Visitors can access the gardens daily from sunrise to sunset, exploring seasonal plant displays, water features, and three acres dedicated to bird and pollinator habitats.

The Rose and Fragrance Garden contains hundreds of roses and tree peonies arranged in a cottage layout, complemented by herbs and an iris walk.
