Outsider Tip
The Fragrant Garden was visited by Helen Keller and was originally designed as a "fragrant garden for the blind."
Volunteer at Tyler
If your schedule doesn’t allow you to volunteer as a docent, handymen, horticultural assistant or school program guide, sign up for the one-day Trail Work Day.
Communing with nature is second nature at Tyler Arboretum, one of the region’s oldest and largest arboreta. From the minute you step onto the trail leading to the 80-foot tulip trees and the delicate wildflowers on the Native Woodland Walk, Tyler wraps you in its scenic environment.
Adventurers enjoy solving the puzzle of the seven-ringed Meadow Maze labyrinth, children learn about nature at Discovery Stations and history-lovers can tour several sites that are on the National Register of Historic Places.
While walking the trails that wind past 180-year old championship trees, keep your eyes out for the 11.5-acre rhododendron collection and the butterfly gardens.
COME PREPARED
Tyler is not for pets or bicyclists.
