Guided Tour at Morris Arboretum & Gardens: Small Trees for Small Places

The guided tours at the Morris offered by HPS/MAG since January 2022 have been popular events with our members. A special collaboration with the Morris Arboretum & Gardens allows us to offer docent-guided tours throughout the year focused on specialty topics not often offered.

Are you wondering what tree to plant in your limited space at home? Or what tree to tuck into that special spot on your property? Join us to investigate the arboretum’s smaller specimen trees that make a big impact. Ranging in height from 15 to 30 feet, these trees have many special features, such as spectacular bark, interesting forms, and great flower and leaf color. Larger shrubs that appear “tree-like” are included.

This tour will take you to the far reaches of the arboretum so please wear off-path walking shoes. After the 1.5 hour tour, you will be able to wander at your leisure to the other areas of the gardens.

Tour participants are encouraged to bring a camera to capture the artistic nature of the trees.
