About Us

The Brenton Arboretum’s plant collections offer an expansive and vibrant variety of trees and shrubs suited to the Midwest.

Since the first trees were planted in 1996, The Brenton Arboretum’s collections have grown and developed in both variety and vigor. The landscape is home to approximately 2,500 plants representing more than 500 different species, cultivars, and hybrids.
