Arboretum Tour
Tue Jul 26, 10:00 AM - Tue Jul 26, 12:00 PM

Asian scholar Elling Oliver Eide possessed deep expertise in horticulture. Eide and his family planted hundreds of plants and trees from around the world on this 72-acre family estate.

The arboretum is an expansive collection of rare and unusual species with many that produce showy flowers and edible fruits. The tour includes a lovely stroll through the historic arboretum and a brief look inside the Elling Eide Research Library and the current exhibits on display from the Eide collection.

Arboretum tour guide Norman Burr has a diverse background including advanced degrees in geology and geophysics, over 20 years experience as a docent at prestigious botanical gardens, and as a college botany instructor. He comes to us from his most recent position as a docent at the Smithsonian Hall of Human Origins and the Meteorite Gallery.

Admission Fee is $5 per person (effective 6.1.22)
Please allow for 2 hours. 60 minutes of the tour is outside and 30 minutes of the tour is inside the Elling Eide Center.
