Morris Arboretum Tours

A view of the fern collection as it stands today inside the refurbished fernery. At one time the collection included 523 fern varieties.

The swan pond was designed and installed in 1905 by John Morris. This is an artificial lake created by damming the East Brook, which naturally flows through the Arboretum. Files from that time period indicate the Morrises purchased a pair of swans in 1923, for $82.50. These are not those swans...

This grove of Dawn Redwoods (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) was planted in the 1950's. This tree was thought to be extinct until a living specimen was re-discovered in China in the 1940's. Walking among these majestic deciduous conifers takes you completely out of being in a structured botanical garden and summons the sensation of being in an ancient forest.
