Springtime at the Arboretum unfolds to offer the much-needed respite of enjoyment in the natural world. During this unprecedented time, the Arboretum remains open to serve the community, and will respond immediately to any changing needs to protect your healthy and safety. We are carefully adhering to the recommendations and requirements of the County Department of Public Health and have implemented several important measures. To maintain safe distancing, all indoor space activities and organized gatherings have been cancelled, and admission tickets are sold only through our website. We are limiting the numbers of visitors and have developed special protocols to ensure proper distancing as we admit members and guests. Our extensive road system, a key element of the Arboretum’s historic design, provides over 2.5 miles of avenues that average 18 feet across, allowing ample space for safe distances. Thankfully, much of our expansive landscape, along with spring bloom, can be enjoyed along these garden lanes. Please note that narrower paths have been closed in accordance with the County’s recent decision to close trails.
