Details
Love plants? So do we! As we celebrate the JC Raulston Arboretum's 50th anniversary, we're kicking off the year with a special retrospective tour highlighting the 10 plants that helped shape our garden—and, in many cases, the horticultural world beyond it.
Our director Mark will guide you through some of our most influential favorites, from industry-defining introductions championed by J. C. Raulston himself to long-standing specimen trees that have become part of the arboretum's identity.
Come celebrate the plants that made the JCRA what it is today, and see the garden through the lens of its rich history and ever-growing legacy!
