Welcome to the Arboretum of Eden!
Mission: Arboretum of Eden of College of the Atlantic provides students, local community, and visitors a living museum to teach us about the world’s botanical diversity, and a place for reflection and delight.
The arboretum is open every day and invites you to wander around and explore the botanical diversity on your own pace.
It is a living representation of the College’s mission – it illustrates the important relationship between us humans and our surrounding environment. Arboretum of Eden stretches over the 35-acre (14ha) campus of College of the Atlantic. It holds a collection of trees and shrubs common in Maine and New England, as well as species from around the world.

To dedicate a website to your arboretum is such a great idea. I hope Colby College can do one for its arboretum too.
