Connecticut College Arboretum, Botanical garden in New London, United States.
The Connecticut College Arboretum extends across 750 acres, featuring native plants, formal gardens, meadows, woodlands, and wetlands through the campus grounds.
Founded in 1931, the arboretum established its Native Plant Collection with 288 taxa of trees and shrubs representing eastern North American flora.
The Arboretum functions as an outdoor classroom where Connecticut College students lead educational tours for children through the ArboProject program.
Visitors can access the arboretum daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours offered on the first and second Sunday of each month from May through October.
The landscape sits on granite, schist, and gneiss bedrock, shaped by glacial activity 26,000 years ago, creating varied soil conditions throughout the grounds.
