Tyler Arboretum: Highlights of Tyler North
FOR ADULTS AND TEENS AGES 12-17
A leisurely-paced tour with collection highlights, gardens, and a bit of Tyler history.
Discover the beauty of Tyler’s northern collections as you travel from Magnolia Field, through the Native Woodland walk, stop at Lucille’s Garden, and end your journey at the Pollinator Preserve. Along the way, you’ll learn how climate, water management, and the plants themselves all play a role in the collections and the broader ecosystem.
