Guided Tree & Garden Tours

Tours can be tailored to your specific interests or educational purposes. The tour may include descriptions of trees, gardens and plans for the future.

Learn more information about trees and plants you might want to plant at home, hear about current issues with invasive pests or plants and get your personal tree and garden questions answered.

Tours are open to WSU classes, the public, school groups, gardeners, youth groups and more. In the event of inclement weather, talks from an indoor location will be substituted.

To arrange a guided tour, contact the Landscape Arboretum Director at 507.457.5045.
