Hoyt Arboretum Friends
Hoyt Arboretum is Portland's global garden in the wild. We grow and exhibit trees and plants from around the world while educating our community and conserving vitally important plant bio-diversity. Home to more than 1,100 species and organized into more than 100 different families, Hoyt Arboretum serves as a true living museum. This unique and self-guided learning environment allows each Arboretum visitor to learn and explore at their own pace. Hoyt Arboretum provides:
- A unique collection of trees and plants from around the world
- A living laboratory for preservation and research
- A vital resource for conserving plant biodiversity
- A peaceful urban oasis
- A 187-acre refuge with 21 trails covering 12 miles
- A promise to future generations
At Hoyt Arboretum every tree has a story to tell. Hoyt Arboretum is a living laboratory where scientists and students can study trees and plants that would not otherwise grow in our climate and habitat. The Hoyt Collection includes more than 1,100 true species, with specimens grown from seeds collected in the wild. These plants produce seeds that can be used to replant native ecosystems that have been destroyed or are at risk.
An arboretum is a promise to future generations. Just as we are enjoying mature, wonderful trees that were planted many years ago, the trees we plant today will grow to provide shade, beauty and value for decades and centuries to come.
Hoyt Arboretum is managed and maintained by the partnership between Hoyt Arboretum Friends and Portland Parks and Recreation.
