Arboretum

The Landis Arboretum may well be the northern Catskill’s best-kept secret. With centuries of history and the riveting beauty inherent in the Arboretum’s world-class, global collections, generations of extraordinary plantings continue to impart their secrets to its visitors.

Long a destination of horticulturalists, environmentalists, “earth watchers”, and birders, the Arboretum most often “rings a bell” of recognition because of its extraordinary plant sales – Spring and Fall -- that have become signature events. The Spring event occurs each May and an abundant display of more than 6,000 out-of-the-ordinary trees, plants, shrubs, and perennials create a seasonal clarion call to gardeners.
