Denison University Arboretum

Description

In 1916, the famed landscape architectural firm of Frederick Law Olmsted Sons, whose founder was the designer of New York City’s Central Park, some of the great Chicago lakefront parks, and distinguished college campuses such as Stanford and Wellesley, produced an innovative design for Denison.

Beautiful trees have always been at the heart of that landscape.  In 2010, Denison created an arboretum in the center of campus for the enjoyment of students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Many of the iconic trees on its grounds have been designated for the Denison Arboretum, and featured on the arboretum's interactive website, which now contains more than 60 trees and highlights a number of Ohio native species.
