Spring is officially here in the City of Dickson Arboretum

Published on by dicksontreeboard

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape, the arboretum in springtime is where it’s at. Fresh green leaves starting to unfurl, spring ephemeral wildflowers painting a gentle carpet, soft winds blowing, and plenty of trails to wander are waiting for you.

Our local arboretum has a good variety of trees and is adding more every season. The arboretum is the perfect place to hear and see birds, insects, and other small wildlife. If you’re looking for a relaxing afternoon or just need a dose of fresh air and natural beauty, visit the arboretum this spring. Pack a picnic, bring your camera, and take your time. The arboretum is local, it’s free to visit, and open all day long.

Enjoy these photos and if you want to share some you have taken, we’re happy to see them.

This tree was cut this year as it had died and become a hazard. The surrounding area will become a wildflower patch.
Tiny white wildflowers growing in mats throughout the arboretum – watch for them underfoot, they are only here for a short time.
Small False Olive Shrub is the first to be planted in a recently cleared area between two large trees. This small shrub is struggling a bit in a tough area filled with roots, but is still alive and growing. Affectionately called “Alice” ~ stop by and say hi when you are visiting.
