Kansas Landscape Arboretum
Non-Profit Organization

The Kansas Landscape Arboretum, Inc. was established in 1972 mainly through the efforts of Ernest Bauer, Professor L.R. Quinlan, and Bill Flynn. It's a "people place" set aside for the collection and cultivation of a fascinating variety of trees and woody plants in a setting of great natural beauty. The Arboretum is also a place to enjoy the beauty of nature and learn the lessons that nature has to offer. Over 1,000 species of exotic and native woody plants can be observed on these 193 acres. Memorial Trees may be dedicated in memory of an individual or to honor someone on a special occasion. A donation of $25.00 is requested. Winding roads connect tree collections, three nature trails for walking, a bird sanctuary, and a pond oasis. Native grasses sway in the wind with the trees. It's a place of peace and serenity. Another area of interest is a historic farmhouse with a garden area, which may be reserved for picnics and family events. While the Kansas Landscape Arboretum is for the benefit of everyone, it depends upon the generosity of its members and donations. There is no admission charge and it is open year round. Tours can be scheduled. The Arboretum gladly accepts donations in any amount.
