Spend the day with us at Adkins Arboretum, the only public garden focusing on plants native to the Mid-Atlantic coastal plain. We’ll take two casual hikes, each with a different focus, with a picnic lunch break in between.

The Arboretum’s location lies where the Piedmont plateau and the coastal plain, intersect, allowing both northern and southern plant life to overlap. This diversity supports habitats for more than 600 species of native shrubs, trees, wildflowers, grasses, and ferns. Birds and wildlife also take advantage of this plant diversity in the Arboretum’s natural settings, ecological restoration projects, and cultivated gardens.
