Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Foundation

A world-class arboretum connecting people and plants for the planet. 

Rooted in plant science and community, we grow knowledge and inspire action to support 
thriving ecosystems and our vital relationship with nature. 

Founded in 1958, the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is a 1,200-acre public garden in Chaska, Minnesota, that attracts nearly 700,000 visitors per year. Best known for its beautiful display gardens, nationally recognized tree collections, protected natural areas and research activity, the Arboretum is easy to explore via paved paths, such as Three-Mile Walk and Three-Mile Drive, which are open year-round. Many miles of wooded trails, stone pathways and routes for cross-country skiers and snowshoers provide access to the healing power of nature in all seasons.

The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 23-7081057) that secures and manages philanthropic support exclusively for the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.
