The University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Tour
Saturday, June 18, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
A tour of the Horticultral Research Center and walk through the Arboretum grounds.
Where: U of M Landscape Arboretum – Chaska, Minnesota
When: Saturday June 18th, 2022 (10:00 AM to 1:00 PM)
Leaders: David Remucal, Curator of Endangered Plants & Adjunct Professor (Department of Horticultural Science), University of Minnesota and MNNPS Board Member
Come join David Remucal for a tour of the Horticultural Research Center (HRC) at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum followed by a walk through parts of the Arboretum. The first part of the field trip will be a tour of the HRC where David will be giving participants a look at the Rare Plant Rescue Program work that he is involved with. After touring the HRC, everyone will then go to the Arboretum for a walk with David to observe some of the many unique plants (probably native plants 😉) found throughout the grounds. After that you are free to enjoy the rest of the Arboretum on your own and at your own pace. The HRC is located 1 mile west of the Arboretum on Hwy. 5 and it should only take a few minutes to travel between sites.
Participants will be meeting at 10AM at the HRC where the field trip will begin and will then drive to the Arboretum following the HRC tour. It has been arranged by David to have the entrance fee for the Arboretum waived for those attending this field trip.
As always, this field trip is for members of the MN Native Plant Society only and will be limited to 20 registrants. In the event of potential bad weather, participants will be notified of any changes to the day.
