Muscatine Arboretum

Muscatine Arboretum Come visit the Muscatine Arboretum today! 15 acres of native and ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers are waiting for you to discover them!

The Muscatine Arboretum's first tree was a swamp white oak, planted on April 17th, 1996. Since then the Muscatine Arboretum Association has planted over 1,000 trees and shrubs. Throughout the 13 acres of the arboretum, you will find collections of linden, maple, oak, crab apples, hostas, dwarf conifers and more. In addition to the beautiful trees and plantings, you can also enjoy a Veterans Memori

al Area, a medieval style brick labyrinth, a gazebo (perfect for picnics) and many benches to sit and enjoy your surroundings! The purpose of the the arboretum is to establish a permanent collection of plants for education, research, conservation and beautification. All walkers, runners, dogs, bicyclists, skate boarders, wheelchairs, and baby strollers are welcome!

🍃Happy First Day of Spring!🌸 What better way to celebrate than marking your calendar for a tree care workshop during Earth Week!🌳

This year's MBO Annual Tree Care Workshop's keynote is Planting for the Future: Diversity is Key presented by Chuck Porto.🌲🍂

🍁What's prettier than a maple lined parkway? Or stately elms overhanging a city boulevard? To some of us, it's a city street lined with native and adapted trees that bring a resilient mix of diverse species capable of withstanding the next Dutch elm disease or emerald ash borer infestation.🐛

📅Date: Saturday, April 26th
📍Location: Muscatine Environmental Learning Center
⏰Time: 9 to 11 am

We hope to see you there!🍃
