Washington Park Arboretum

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:22:47

This wild and lovely park offers a wide variety of gardens, a wetlands nature trail and 200 acres of mature forest threaded by paths. More than 5500 plant species grow within the arboretum’s boundaries. In the spring Azalea Way , a jogger-free trail that winds through the arboretum, is lined with a giddy array of pink- and orange-flowered azaleas and rhododendrons.

Trail guides to the plant collections are available at the Graham Visitors Center . Free guided tours of the grounds take place at 1pm on Saturday and Sunday from January to November.
