The Delbert Hunter
Arboretum
and Botanic Garden
Dallas, Oregon
|
Since 1983, Friends of the Delbert Hunter Arboretum
and Botanic Garden, a non-profit organization, has planned and
developed a recreational and educational resource with the Dallas
city park.
Here
is a unique opportunity to see a living museum of Native
plants. The varied terrain of the Arboretum provides ecological
niches suited to perennials, conifers, oaks, wetland species
and dryland desert plants.
Recently added is a rock garden of native Lewisia plants
honoring Viola Sobolik, the first curator. Go to the extreme
south end of the park to see this site.
The Arboretum is open year-round. Tours are self-guided.
Identification and interpretive signs enable visitors to
appreciate the variety of Oregon trees, shrubs and flowers.
Many of these specimens are seldom found so accessible.
