Newton Arboretum and Botanical Garden

The Newton Arboretum & Botanical Gardens is a privately managed, nonprofit public garden that offers a peaceful place to connect with nature. The grounds include six acres of arboretum and gardens, along with 13 acres of native seedling prairie, providing space to explore a wide variety of plants and landscapes. Maintained by a small staff, a volunteer board, and many dedicated volunteers, the arboretum focuses on horticulture, education, and community connection. Visitors can walk through garden spaces, enjoy seasonal blooms, and experience the changing prairie throughout the year. The gardens are open from sunrise to sunset year-round and welcome visitors looking for a quiet retreat, a place to learn, or a moment to slow down outdoors. The Newton Arboretum & Botanical Gardens is supported entirely by volunteers and private donors.
