Engaged in the conversion of a golf course into a sanctuary for trees, birds, pollinators & people. The Arboretum grounds are currently under construction.
Trails have been installed and planting is due to begin in 2021. Although trails could be wet or muddy, the public may visit from dawn till dusk during construction. Dog owners are asked to clean up after their pets.

Our volunteers sure had a fun time on this artsy project to bring a little extra color to our grounds! Head out to the trails to see if you can find them!
As the Arboretum continues to grow, we are excited to share opportunities for supporters to leave a permanent and meaningful legacy on the grounds through sponsoring a paver in our Council Circle. A memorial paver offers the opportunity to permanently become part of our shared story while helping preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the grounds.
The Council Circle is a unique installation offering a view across the grounds with seating around an intimate propane fire pit. The area has existing pavers available for sponsorship.
Commemorative pavers create a lasting tribute that honors loved ones, celebrates family traditions, recognizes meaningful milestones, or simply reflects a personal connection to this special place. These engraved pavers will help support the continued development, restoration, and stewardship of the Arboretum for future generations.
Council Circle paver sponsorships are due by August 31, 2026, with engraving occurring in September 2026. Those who sponsor a paver will also receive an invite to a bonfire night in the Council Circle to celebrate your contribution; multiple dates may be offered depending on the number ordered, as limited seating is available.

The Van der Brohe Arboretum partnered with Ascend Services, Inc. to host their Gardens&Giggles afternoon program. We painted our own window clings to prevent bird-window collisions, then we went on a hike to see how many birds from our e-Bird HotSpot recent sightings list we could find again! We were so happy to host this energetic bunch 😀
