The Arboretum of University of Minnesota



Arboretum UMN

If you are dying to know the scientific names of your garden herbs I suggest you take a visit to Chaska. Easy to get to and close by coolness measures. Head down the 494 west out of the cities and take the 5. Right past the 41 you will see the sign a mile up on the right. Plus ++++
Lot's of them. Thursdays are free!! Well as free as it is to get your car there; not that biking there is an impossiblity.

Thursdays cost nothing otherwise it's $7 a person. Highlights include the Japanese Garden, the Eye pod - NO plugs or batteries required. The Bog walk is fun. Follow the wood chip trail around the lake and look for the wood pathway. Did not see the SWAMP THING but knew he was out there. (Or is he a SHE?)
