Whether you’re joining a guided tour, exploring at your own pace, or attending one of our garden picnics or dinners, each visit offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, discover extraordinary trees, and experience the legacy of conservation. We welcome plant lovers, families, and curious minds of all ages—come wander, learn, and enjoy a meal surrounded by beauty. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Visiting Cox Arboretum & Gardens

 

The dream of our founder, Tom Cox, was to create a place where people could connect with nature, learn, and find peace among trees from around the world. Today, we are proud to carry forward his legacy—sharing his passion for conservation, education, and a love of horticulture with our community and beyond.

 

We invite you to experience the gardens as a gift to all who visit. Guests are welcome to explore the grounds at no cost—walk the trails, enjoy a quiet moment by the pond, or bring a picnic and take in the beauty of the landscape.

 

For those interested in a deeper experience, guided tours of the gardens and our plant collection are available with one of our directors for $20 per person.

 

Our hours are Monday through Saturday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
All visitors are required to reserve a time slot prior to arrival.’
