Bard Arboretum
About this place
A 930-acre arboretum on the Bard College campus along the Hudson River, made up of three historic estates with fields, forests, and multiple gardens. Families can walk the grounds from sunrise to sunset, exploring named gardens including a Chinese garden, native plant garden, and Elizabethan knot garden, alongside natural areas with meadows, woodlands, and ponds. The arboretum holds over 2,000 trees and shrubs representing more than 600 species, many labeled with their botanical names. The college runs classes, workshops, arboretum walks, and special events throughout the year to help visitors learn about the landscape and its plants.
