Gardens and Collections
  


Tyler Arboretum is set apart from other area arboreta by the fact that its mature plant collections are laid out in a natural setting. In addition to the historic Painter Trees, several of which are state champions, Tyler maintains other impressive collections including:
   
Amazing Butterflies  Butterfly House & Garden is a unique opportunity to learn about, to photograph, and to get a close-up look at our local butterflies in all stages of development
  
An 85-acre Pinetum that features pines, spruces, hemlocks, firs, cedars, false cypresses and larches
  
Beautiful and diverse rhododendron, flowering cherry, crabapple, holly, magnolia and lilac collections
  
The serene The Native Woodland Walk
  
The Stopford Family Meadow Maze, a labyrinth of meadow grasses and butterfly-loving plants
  
Pink Hill, a barren of serpentine stone on which grows endemic wildflowers
  
The Painter Trees, 22 majestic trees planted by the Painter Brothers in the mid-1800s. 
  
450 uncultivated acres which remain natural and contain 20 miles of marked trails much used by hikers, birders and naturalists.
