Secrest Arboretum

Come Visit!

Look at, learn about, and love the plant life around you. Over the past 100+ years, we have grown into an expansive outdoor laboratory and landscape garden.

At Secrest, our beautiful theme gardens illustrate the use of style, color and texture within plant habitats to establish a sustainable landscape. Enjoy our gardens and discover plant selections for yours. Stroll our paved walkways through forests and meadows.

Check out the new Fortress at the Hogs-back, embankment slide and pavilion complete with giant frogs, tortoises and more.
