Description
Excerpted from the website:
- What Adkins Arboretum Offers Visitors
- Through its educational and science-based approach to land stewardship, the Arboretum promotes appreciation and conservation of native plants to over 14,000 visitors annually. The Arboretum strives to reach a broad audience – children, families, amateur and professional horticulturists, natural resource managers, land planners, the nursery industry and land developers – through such activities as guided walks, adult programs, children’s programs, plant sales, art exhibitions, and seasonal community events.
- The Arboretum is unique in the Mid-Atlantic region because it is the only arboretum or public garden in the region that focuses solely on plants native to the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain. Because of its unique location on the Delmarva Peninsula of Maryland, at the junction of the Piedmont and Coastal Plains, northern and southern plant life overlap here.
