Arboretum
Our beautiful arboretum includes some hilly terrain. While there are paved paths and benches throughout the gardens, traversing some areas of the arboretum could prove challenging for some guests. There is one wheelchair accessible bridge near Trudy’s Garden, at the end of the Arboretum opposite The Museum. Additionally, there is the newly opened, accessible Sensory Garden, located just past Trudy’s Garden.
