| The Orange County Arboretum is located in the Thomas
Bull Memorial Park, Hamptonburgh, New York. The 35 acres of rolling
former pasturelands and wooded areas are an environmental resource
and garden whose primary purpose is the display of tree collections.
These collections are placed to contribute to a learning experience
organized around botanical family relationships, tree habitats and
wetland characteristics.
The wooded borders of the six acre Al Durland Memorial
Pond back the Arboretum. In the distance visitors can view the dramatic
profile of the Shawangunk Mountains. The Arboretum offers a venue
to compare and evaluate plants. Others may look to the Arboretum
as a resource for learning about plant selections for environmental
enhancements.
Students may enjoy the site as an outdoor living laboratory to study
and identify the various species. Homeowners can examine tree and
shrub varieties for possible use in their landscape design. Everyone
can come to the green sanctuary to escape the stress of everyday
life by taking a leisurely stroll from one garden to another. |
