More about the Arboretum Teaching Nursery
The Arboretum Teaching Nursery is well known as a dynamic visitor destination and hub for community engagement at the west end of the Arboretum.
Since the Teaching Nursery opened in 2008, member and public plant sales have flourished. Casual gardeners and plant enthusiasts from throughout the region seek out the expertise of Arboretum and Public Garden staff and volunteers as they shop the huge inventory of high-quality, Arboretum-grown plants to support climate-ready home gardening. Over 7,500 visitors attend seasonal in-person plant sale events annually.
For our Learning by Leading™ student environmental interns, the nursery is a hub of experiential learning. It also functions as a growing ground for climate-ready plants to make campus landscapes more sustainable. Community partners seek out the collaboration of our professional nursery staff. Plus, the nursery is a beloved center for building community volunteer connections – teams of volunteers propagate most of the plants available for sale.
Now, with the opening of the Elizabeth Mary Wolf Environmental Learning Center inside the Arboretum Teaching Nursery, crowds will grow dramatically as we expand our suite of public engagement programs for members, families and the public. Infrastructure enhancements within the nursery and support for our student teams are needed to welcome these expanding crowds and make the space more enjoyable, accessible and educational for all.
