Plan Your Visit

Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 p.m.

These tours are held year round on Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 p.m. There is no set itinerary, each tour is custom designed depending on the interests of attendees. First-time visitors may want a general tour of the Arboretum. Returning visitors may wish to learn more about our sculpture or big trees. If each attendee has a different interest, the guides will try to incorporate them all. The Arboretum is in your hands.

Sundays in April, July, October at 1:00 p.m.

These tours are available in April, July, and October only. They are held on Sundays during these months at 1:00 p.m. What makes a “great plant” for your home garden? Besides being readily available, pest resistant and particularly hardy, these great plants provide especially attractive ornamental features in multiple seasons and add special interest. Great plants are easy to grow and well suited to the climate and temperature zones of the Delaware Valley. Learn about great plants for your own garden and get some helpful hints along the way. This is a terrific way to share ideas with other gardeners of all levels of knowledge and experience.

Winter Wellness Walks


Join Arboretum guides for a brisk walk around the garden every Saturday morning at 10:30 from November through March. Wellness Walks encourage visitors to step outside and get some exercise by walking the Arboretum’s paved paths, in a beautiful, safe environment. What better way to gain energy for the day! Walkers meet at the Visitors Center wearing comfortable clothing and shoes and ready to walk the two mile-long loops on paved paths.  Guides point out some of the Arboretum’s specimen trees and other distinctive features along the way, but there is no stopping to smell the roses, so to speak. The walk lasts for approximately 45 minutes to an hour, and walkers are welcome to continue on their own afterward.

In case of inclement weather, please call (215) 247-5777.
