The arboretum stands out not only for its natural beauty but also for its role as a vibrant gathering space. It serves as a unique venue where couples exchange vows, organizations host team-building exercises, and companies hold picnics. It’s more than just an arboretum—it’s a place where significant life events unfold and where communities come together.

In addition to its role as a community space, the arboretum is home to an exceptional collection of noteworthy trees, each contributing to the ecological and aesthetic value of the property. Notable among these are the towering hemlock-Canadian trees, which stand as a symbol of resilience in the face of environmental challenges. They also proudly feature impressive tuliptrees, flowering dogwoods, and a diverse selection of maples, oaks, and lindens. Each tree in the collection plays a crucial role in supporting local wildlife, promoting biodiversity, and enriching the landscape.

The arboretum is also deeply connected to the history of Earth Day, as the idea for this global observance was born on the property. To honor this legacy, they proudly maintain an Earth Day tree, a living testament to their commitment to environmental stewardship.
