Crosby Arboretum

The 104-acre Native Plant Center of The Crosby Arboretum serves as the focus of Arboretum activities and development. It includes the Pinecote Pavilion (The Pinecote Pavilion and the many wooden bridges were designed by award-winning architect Fay Jones, of Fayetteville, Arkansas) and the Piney Woods Lake for display of native water plants in their natural setting.  The Arboretum protects and manages several lovely pitcher plant bogs both on site and within the natural areas. Edible, poisonous, and aromatic plants, are found at the Arboretum. As the seasons unfold their splendor, the Arboretum provides a clear, unobstructed view of the variety and beauty of our natural resources. More than attractive features of our landscape, plants are an integral part of the environment we inhabit.
