McCrory Gardens and South Dakota Arboretum, Botanical garden and arboretum at South Dakota State University, United States.
The garden complex extends across 70 acres, featuring 25 acres of formal display gardens and 45 acres of diverse tree and shrub collections.
Professor S.A. McCrory led the horticulture department from 1947 to 1964, establishing the foundation for what became an extensive botanical research center.
The gardens serve as an educational resource for plant science students while maintaining collections of flowers, trees, and shrubs native to the northern Great Plains.
Visitors can access 1.6 miles of trails through the arboretum from dawn to dusk, with free entry to the arboretum section.
The facility conducts extensive plant trials to determine which species can survive in South Dakota's extreme temperature variations and climate conditions.
