Very nice arboretum located on UK campus in Lexington. Long walking trails around the premises and paths to follow for most of the exhibits but there are some grassy paths to follow as well. Places to sit throughout with alcove after alcove of cool plants flowers and trees. Also a great tribute to victims of a plane crash and other statues throughout as well. Nicely done.

Came for a quiet conversation and enjoy the beautiful foliage. It's peaceful in the garden. You'll find a variety of plants, trees, shrubs, and flowers. Wind your way along the paths to a variety of different preserved nature layouts that portray the various regions of KY. People are walking or running the trails. Some find rest in their hammocks that they bring for lounging. A wonderful opportunity for some fabulous photos! Whike others picnic, some are reading. Conversations are friendly. Children are laughing and exploring. People are happy in the beauty of God's outdoor garden in the midst of a bustling city.
This arboretum is spacious with interesting varieties and pleasing walking trails and paths. Easy to find, ample Parking. The children’s storybook path is charming. A wonderful place to take the family out for fresh air and open spaces.
