Awaken your senses in this 320-acre living classroom: Walk the 3 miles of trails while viewing over 3,200 plant and trees from North and South America, Africa, the Mediterranean, Asia and Australia. Experience the fragrance of the Gum Bark trees and the scent of the eucalyptus trees. Listen for and/or see the more than 270 species of birds who call the Arboretum home. Seasonally watch the flutter of the butterflies and dragonflies or catch glimpses of a variety of hummingbirds. Learn about drought tolerant plants for home landscaping in the Demonstration Garden and while there see examples of water-harvesting methods and irrigation techniques. Join a guided walk to learn from experts about the gardens and wildlife or sign up for classes. An array of signature events complements the experience of Boyce Thompson Arboretum for the guests we welcome each year. Favorites are Bye-Bye Buzzards, Fall Color Festival and Australia Days. Schedules and details are available on BTA's website.
